Given the equation z4−1=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: 4z4=41 4z4=(−1)41 or z=1 z=−1 We get the answer: z = 1 We get the answer: z = -1 or z1=−1 z2=1
All other 2 root(s) is the complex numbers. do replacement: w=z then the equation will be the: w4=1 Any complex number can presented so: w=reip substitute to the equation r4e4ip=1 where r=1 - the magnitude of the complex number Substitute r: e4ip=1 Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p isin(4p)+cos(4p)=1 so cos(4p)=1 and sin(4p)=0 then p=2πN 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: w1=−1 w2=1 w3=−i w4=i do backward replacement w=z z=w
