The value of i3is-i,±3+i2.

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

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Given Information

The given expression isi3.

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,or5π2,9π2,13π2,...

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

z1n=reiθ1nz1n=r1neiθnz1n=rncosθn+isinθn1

When n=3, the equation becomes 3rd the root of the complex number.

z13=r13eiθ3r=1θ=π6,5π6,9π6,13π6,......=π6,5π6,3π2,13π6,.....

04

Plotting the polar coordinate points on the graph.


It is clear from the above graph that the points 1,π6and the point 1,13π6are the same.

The radius of the circle is and equally spaced 2π3apart.

r=1θ=π6,5π6,3π2

Hence, the value of i3=-i,±3+i2.
