Find the fourth roots of 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°).
Solution:
Given 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°).
Let y = 16.ei200
Apply square root to get desired value
(2⁴)1/2. (ei200)1/2
= 4(ei100)
Again apply square root to get four roots
(2²)1/2 . (ei100)1/2
2.ei50
y = 2(cos(50 + 90n) + i sin(50 + 90n))
Take n = 0 ,y = 2(cos(50)+isin(50)) : 2(0.64+i0.766)
Take n = 1,y = 2(cos(140) + isin (140)): 2(-0.766 + i0.64)
Take n = 2,y = 2(cos(230) + isin (230)): 2(-0.64 + i(-0.766))
Take n = 3,y = 2(cos(320) + isin(320)): 2(0.766 + i(-0.64))
Find the fourth roots of 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°).
Summary:
The fourth roots of 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°) are 2(0.64 + i0.766), 2(-0.766 + i0.64), 2(-0.64 + i(-0.766)), 2(0.766 + i(-0.64)).
