Problem
(a) Express −22−26i in the form reiθ where −π<θ⩽π
(3)
(b) Hence solve
z5=−22−26i
Give your answers in the form peiθ where p∈Z+ and −π<θ⩽π
(3)

(a)

先求模长,再判断象限。实部和虚部都为负,所以点在第三象限;但题目要求 −π<θ⩽π,因此用负角表示更自然。

Let
w=−22−26i
The modulus is
r===(−22)2+(−26)28+2442
For the argument,
tanα==22263
so
α=3π
Since w is in the third quadrant and −π<θ⩽π,
θ==−π+3π−32π
Therefore
−22−26i=42e−32πi
(b)

思路

由 (a),右边的模长是 42=25/2。开五次方后模长是 2。辐角要加上 2kπ 后再除以 5,最后选出满足 −π<θ⩽π 的五个角。

From part (a),
z5=42e−32πi
Thus
z==(42)1/5ei(5−32π+2kπ)2ei(−152π+52kπ)
For k=0,1,2,3,4, the arguments are
−152π,154π,1510π,1516π,1522π
Convert those outside −π<θ⩽π:
1516π−2π=1522π−2π=−1514π,−158π
Therefore the five roots are
2e−1514πi,2e−158πi,2e−152πi,2e154πi,2e32πi
