Do you know the biquadratic root of 256?
What is it?
4
It's 16i.
Sqrt(sqrt(-256))?
wait so after r^4cis(4theta)=-256 then what
wait now i got the asnwer
its just 4cispie
Where did 4theta come from?
Also z = 16i?
z^4 = -256.
De Moivre’s
im confused on biquadratic u dont need to do that
You do?
How do you find z?
its in cis form
u have to find it in cis form so u the theorem and expan so -256=r^4(cos4theta+isin4theta)
and pie is -1,0
so
4cis(pie)=-256
4cis(pie)=z^4 and then u just solve for z
yh
Why square on both sides twice?
It's easier to do it normally.
Yea.
so do u know de moivre's theorem?
My mistake, I didnt multiply by theta.
alr 👍🏿
Anyway you gonna continue?
uh
so its r^n(cos(theta) + isin(theta))
=-256
and thats 256x-1
so 256=z^4
and (cos(4theta) + isin(4theta))=-1
and u get ur answer
then sub 0-3 to get values
Oh ok.
yh
I was thinking of doing it by doing the biquadratic but this works too.
