Two formulas for calculating root of a complex number in a exponential form

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on two formulas for calculating the root of a complex number in exponential form. The first formula, z_k=\sqrt[n]{r}e^{i\left(\frac{\phi+2k\pi}{n}\right)}, is correct, while the second formula, z_k=\sqrt[n]{re}^\frac{\phi+2k\pi}{n}, is incorrect due to the misplacement of the root. The correct interpretation of the second formula would involve applying the root to the entire expression, leading to a different result. Ultimately, the correct approach emphasizes the proper handling of the root in complex exponentiation. Understanding these nuances is essential for accurate calculations in complex analysis.

z_k=\sqrt[n]{u}=\sqrt[n]{r}e^{i\left(\frac{\phi+2k\pi}{n}\right)}, k=0,1,2,...,n-1

and

z_k=\sqrt[n]{u}=\sqrt[n]{re}^\frac{\phi+2k\pi}{n}, k=0,1,2,...,n-1

Which one is incorrect (note that in the first, e is out of the root)?

The second one is incorrect, and I would read that one as being \left(\sqrt[n]{re}\right)^\frac{\phi+2k\pi}{n}

When you have z_k^n=re^{i(\phi+2k\pi)}

then taking the nth would yield z_k=\left(re^{i(\phi+2k\pi)}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}e^{i(\phi+2k\pi)\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{r}e^{i(\frac{\phi+2k\pi}{n})}
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
