Problem

In this question you must show all stages of your working.

Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.

(a) Express the complex number

443i\begin{align*} -4 - 4\sqrt{3}\mathrm{i} \end{align*}

in the form r(cosθ+isinθ)r(\cos \theta + \mathrm{i} \sin \theta), where r>0r > 0 and π<θπ-\pi < \theta \leqslant \pi.

(3)

(b) Solve the equation

z3+4+43i=0\begin{align*} z^3 + 4 + 4\sqrt{3}\mathrm{i} = 0 \end{align*}

giving your answers in the form reiθr\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta}, where r>0r > 0 and π<θπ-\pi < \theta \leqslant \pi.

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

先求 modulus,再判断 argument。点 (4,43)(-4,-4\sqrt3) 在第三象限,所以角度应为负角

2π3.\begin{align*} -\frac{2\pi}{3}. \end{align*}

答题过程

展开

Let

443i=r(cosθ+isinθ).\begin{align*} -4-4\sqrt3\mathrm{i}=r(\cos\theta+\mathrm{i}\sin\theta). \end{align*}

The modulus is

r=(4)2+(43)2=16+48=8.\begin{align*} r =&\,\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-4\sqrt3)^2}\\[2mm] =&\,\sqrt{16+48}\\[2mm] =&\,8. \end{align*}

Also,

tanθ=434=3.\begin{align*} \tan\theta =&\,\frac{-4\sqrt3}{-4}\\[2mm] =&\,\sqrt3. \end{align*}

The complex number is in the third quadrant, and the required range is π<θπ-\pi<\theta\leqslant\pi, so

θ=2π3.\begin{align*} \theta=-\frac{2\pi}{3}. \end{align*}

Therefore

443i=8(cos(2π3)+isin(2π3)).\begin{align*} -4-4\sqrt3\mathrm{i} =&\,8\left(\cos\left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) +\mathrm{i}\sin\left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right). \end{align*}

思路

由方程得

z3=443i.\begin{align*} z^3=-4-4\sqrt3\mathrm{i}. \end{align*}

利用 (a) 的模长和角度,再用 de Moivre’s theorem 取三次方根。三个根的 argument 相差 2π3\dfrac{2\pi}{3},最后要调整到 π<θπ-\pi<\theta\leqslant\pi

答题过程

展开

The equation gives

z3=443i.\begin{align*} z^3=-4-4\sqrt3\mathrm{i}. \end{align*}

From part (a),

443i=8e2π3i.\begin{align*} -4-4\sqrt3\mathrm{i} =&\,8\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{2\pi}{3}\mathrm{i}}. \end{align*}

Let

z=reiθ.\begin{align*} z=r\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta}. \end{align*}

Then

z3=r3e3iθ.\begin{align*} z^3=r^3\mathrm{e}^{3\mathrm{i}\theta}. \end{align*}

So

r3=8,\begin{align*} r^3=8, \end{align*}

giving

r=2.\begin{align*} r=2. \end{align*}

For the arguments,

3θ=2π3+2kπ.\begin{align*} 3\theta=-\frac{2\pi}{3}+2k\pi. \end{align*}

Hence

θ=2π9+2kπ3.\begin{align*} \theta=-\frac{2\pi}{9}+\frac{2k\pi}{3}. \end{align*}

The three values in the range π<θπ-\pi<\theta\leqslant\pi are

θ=8π9,2π9,4π9.\begin{align*} \theta =&\,-\frac{8\pi}{9},\quad -\frac{2\pi}{9},\quad \frac{4\pi}{9}. \end{align*}

Therefore

z=2e8π9i,2e2π9i,2e4π9i.\begin{align*} z =&\,2\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{8\pi}{9}\mathrm{i}}, \quad 2\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{2\pi}{9}\mathrm{i}}, \quad 2\mathrm{e}^{\frac{4\pi}{9}\mathrm{i}}. \end{align*}
