Question 1
Let .
Hence find the cube roots of z in modulus-argument form.
Let z=1−cos2θ−isin2θ,z∈C,0≤θ≤π.
Hence find the cube roots of z in modulus-argument form.
attempt to apply De Moivre's theorem
(1−cos2θ−isin2θ)31=231(sinθ)31[cos(3θ−2π+2nπ)+isin(3θ−2π+2nπ)]
Note: A1 for modulus, A1 for dividing argument of z by 3 and A1 for 2nπ.
Hence cube roots are the above expression when n=-1,0,1.
Equivalent forms are acceptable.
