The value of iis±1+i2.

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

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The given expression isi.

02

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 0+i .

x=0,y=1

The polar coordinates of the point are in the form of z=reiθ .

r=1θ=π2,or5π2,9π2,....

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

role="math" localid="1658744103977" z1n=reiθ1nz1n=r1neiθnz1n=rncosθn+isinθn1

When n=2, the equation becomes the 2nd root of the complex number.

z12=r12eiθ2θ=π4,5π4,9π4,.........

04

Plotting the polar coordinate points on the graph

It is clear from the above graph that the points 1,π4and the point1,9π4 are the same.

The radius of the circle is 1 and equally spaced πapart.

r=1θ=π4,5π4

Hence, the value ofi=±1+i2

Most popular questions from this chapter

For each of the following numbers, first visualize where it is in the complex plane. With a little practice you can quickly findin your head for these simple problems. Then plot the number and label it in five ways as in Figure 3.3. Also plot the complex conjugate of the number.

2e-iπ4.

Express the following complex numbers in the x+iyform. Try to visualize each complex number, using sketches as in the examples if necessary. The first twelve problems you should be able to do in your head (and maybe some of the others—try it!) Doing a problem quickly in your head saves time over using a computer. Remember that the point in doing problems like this is to gain skill in manipulating complex expressions, so a good study method is to do the problems by hand and use a computer to check your answers.
