    The document discusses DeMoivre's theorem and nth roots of complex numbers. DeMoivre's theorem states that if z = r(cosθ + i sinθ) is a complex number and n is a positive integer, then zn = rn(cosnθ + isnθ). It also states that a complex number z has exactly n nth roots given by z1/n = r1/n(cos(θ + 2kπ/n) + i sin(θ + 2kπ/n)), where k = 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1. Examples are given to find the square roots of a complex number and all the sixth roots of 1.

    Write the trigonometric form of 2+ 2i Write the standard form (keep it exact) of 5(cos 135 + i sin 135) If z = 4(cos

    40 + i sin 40) and w = 2(cos 120 + i sin 120) then find zw & z/w

    Chapter 6 Section 5b

    If z = r(cos q + i sin q) find:


    z2 = z3 = z4 = Summarize?

    DeMoivres Theorem
    If z = r(cos q + i sin q) is a complex number and n is a positive integer, then: zn = [r(cos q + i sin q)]n = rn(cos nq + i sin nq) NOTE: If leaving in trig form, reduce angle so that it is less than one positive rotation.

    For a positive integer n, the complex number z = r (cos q + i sin q) has exactly n district nth roots given by:

    +2

    +2

    where k = 0, 1, 2, , n-1

    EXAMPLES:
    Find the square roots of z = 16(cos 60 + i sin 60) Find all the sixth roots of 1
