Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of -15is-1,0.809±0.588i,-0.309±0.951i.

The graph used in this question to find the answer is shown below.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The given expression is -15.

02

 Step 2: Definition of Complex Number

Complex numbers have both real numbers and imaginary numbers in them; a complex can be written in the form of:

z=a+ib

Here a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary number which is known as iota, whose value is -1.

03

Find the value of r and θ

The Complex number is in the form -1+0i.

x=-1,y=0

The polar coordinates of the point are in the form ofz=reiθ

r=1

θ=π,or3π,5π,7π,9π,11π,....

The equation z=reiθcan also be written in another form.

z1n=reiθ1n=re1neiθnz1n=rncosθn+isinθn

When n=5 , the equation becomes the 5th root of the complex number:

z15=r15eiθ5r=1θ=π5,3π5,5π5,7π5,9π5,11π5,.....=π5,3π5,π,7π5,9π5,11π5,.....

04

 Step 4: Plotting the polar coordinate points on the graph

It is clear from the above graph that the points 1,π5and the point 1,11π5are the same.

The radius of the circle 1 is and equally spaced2π5 apart.

r=1θ=π5,3π5,π,7π5,9π5

Hence, the value of -15=-1,0.809±0.588i,-0.309±0.951i
