    Cube Root
Click For Summary
To calculate the cube roots of the complex number (3 - i)/(3 + i) in modulus-argument form, first simplify the fraction to express it in the form a + bi. Next, convert this result into polar form using r(cosθ + i sinθ). Apply DeMoivre's Theorem to find the cube roots, which involves taking the cube root of the modulus and dividing the argument by three. Additionally, it's important to show your attempts at solving the problem to receive further assistance. This process will lead to the principal root expressed in the desired format.

can someone help me solve this question as fasd as possible??
im really headache wif it...
thx~~

Do not bump your post after only 16 minutes. It is unreasonable to expect fast help all the time here on the PF.

Also, you must show your attempt at a solution before we can be of help. Show us how you would go about simplifying the complex fraction that you are describing...
 
First off, you're going to want to calculate (3 - i)/(3 + i), to get it in the form a + bi. After that, you should calculate the polar form of this complex number, r(cos\theta + i sin\theta). After that, you can use DeMoivre's Formula to find a cube root, which says that
(r(cos\theta + i sin\theta))^{1/n} = r^{1/n}(cos(\theta/n) + i sin(\theta/n)).
