z^4-81=0 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$z^{4} - 81 = 0$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 4 - contains the even number 4 in the numerator, then
the equation has two real roots.
Get the root 4-th degree of the equation sides:
We get:
$$\sqrt[4]{z^{4}} = \sqrt[4]{81}$$
$$\sqrt[4]{z^{4}} = \left(-1\right) \sqrt[4]{81}$$
or
$$z = 3$$
$$z = -3$$
We get the answer: z = 3
We get the answer: z = -3
or
$$z_{1} = -3$$
$$z_{2} = 3$$
All other 2 root(s) is the complex numbers.
do replacement:
$$w = z$$
then the equation will be the:
$$w^{4} = 81$$
Any complex number can presented so:
$$w = r e^{i p}$$
substitute to the equation
$$r^{4} e^{4 i p} = 81$$
where
$$r = 3$$
- the magnitude of the complex number
Substitute r:
$$e^{4 i p} = 1$$
Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p
$$i \sin{\left(4 p \right)} + \cos{\left(4 p \right)} = 1$$
so
$$\cos{\left(4 p \right)} = 1$$
and
$$\sin{\left(4 p \right)} = 0$$
then
$$p = \frac{\pi N}{2}$$
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:
$$w_{1} = -3$$
$$w_{2} = 3$$
$$w_{3} = - 3 i$$
$$w_{4} = 3 i$$
do backward replacement
$$w = z$$
$$z = w$$
The final answer:
$$z_{1} = -3$$
$$z_{2} = 3$$
$$z_{3} = - 3 i$$
$$z_{4} = 3 i$$
Sum and product of roots

$$\left(\left(-3 + 3\right) - 3 i\right) + 3 i$$
$$0$$
$$3 i - 9 \left(- 3 i\right)$$
$$-81$$
$$z_{1} = -3$$
$$z_{2} = 3$$
$$z_{3} = - 3 i$$
$$z_{4} = 3 i$$
