解答

(a)(i)

Given z=663iz = 6 - 6\sqrt{3}\mathrm{i}, the modulus of zz is:

z=62+(63)2=36+108=144=12\begin{align*} |z| = &\,\sqrt{6^2 + (-6\sqrt{3})^2}\\[4mm] = &\,\sqrt{36 + 108}\\[4mm] = &\,\sqrt{144}\\[4mm] = &\,12 \end{align*}

(a)(ii)

The argument of zz can be found using the inverse tangent:

argz=arctan(636)=arctan(3)=π3\begin{align*} \arg z = &\,\arctan\left( \frac{-6\sqrt{3}}{6} \right)\\[4mm] = &\,\arctan(-\sqrt{3})\\[4mm] = &\,-\frac{\pi}{3} \end{align*}

(b)

Using De Moivre’s theorem, we first write zz in exponential or trigonometric form:

z=12eπ3i\begin{align*} z = &\,12\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\pi}{3}\mathrm{i}} \end{align*}

Then for z4z^4:

z4=(12eπ3i)4=124e4π3i=20736(cos(4π3)+isin(4π3))=20736(12+i32)=10368+103683i\begin{align*} z^4 = &\,\left( 12\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\pi}{3}\mathrm{i}} \right)^4\\[4mm] = &\,12^4 \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{4\pi}{3}\mathrm{i}}\\[4mm] = &\,20736 \left( \cos\left(-\frac{4\pi}{3}\right) + \mathrm{i}\sin\left(-\frac{4\pi}{3}\right) \right)\\[4mm] = &\,20736 \left( -\frac{1}{2} + \mathrm{i}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)\\[4mm] = &\,-10368 + 10368\sqrt{3}\mathrm{i} \end{align*}

(c)

We are given w2=z=12eπ3iw^2 = z = 12\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\pi}{3}\mathrm{i}}. The values of ww are the square roots of zz. By De Moivre’s theorem:

w=(12ei(π3+2kπ))12for k=0,1=12ei(π6+kπ)=±23(cos(π6)+isin(π6))=±23(3212i)=±(33i)\begin{align*} w = &\,\left( 12\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\left(-\frac{\pi}{3} + 2k\pi\right)} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}} \quad \text{for } k=0, 1\\[4mm] = &\,\sqrt{12} \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\left(-\frac{\pi}{6} + k\pi\right)}\\[4mm] = &\,\pm 2\sqrt{3} \left( \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) + \mathrm{i}\sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \right)\\[4mm] = &\,\pm 2\sqrt{3} \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{i} \right)\\[4mm] = &\,\pm (3 - \sqrt{3}\mathrm{i}) \end{align*}

So the values of ww are 33i3 - \sqrt{3}\mathrm{i} and 3+3i-3 + \sqrt{3}\mathrm{i}.
