z^4=i equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$z^{4} = i$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 4 and the free term = i complex,
so the real solutions of the equation d'not exist
All other 4 root(s) is the complex numbers.
do replacement:
$$w = z$$
then the equation will be the:
$$w^{4} = i$$
Any complex number can presented so:
$$w = r e^{i p}$$
substitute to the equation
$$r^{4} e^{4 i p} = i$$
where
$$r = 1$$
- the magnitude of the complex number
Substitute r:
$$e^{4 i p} = i$$
Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p
$$i \sin{\left(4 p \right)} + \cos{\left(4 p \right)} = i$$
so
$$\cos{\left(4 p \right)} = 0$$
and
$$\sin{\left(4 p \right)} = 1$$
then
$$p = \frac{\pi N}{2} + \frac{\pi}{8}$$
where N=0,1,2,3,...
Looping through the values of N and substituting p into the formula for w
Consequently, the solution will be for w:
$$w_{1} = - \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} + i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
$$w_{2} = \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} - i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
$$w_{3} = - \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} - i \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
$$w_{4} = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} + i \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
do backward replacement
$$w = z$$
$$z = w$$
The final answer:
$$z_{1} = - \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} + i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
$$z_{2} = \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} - i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
$$z_{3} = - \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} - i \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
$$z_{4} = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}} + i \sqrt{- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}$$
