Solution
Let's go through the problems step by step.
Part (a)
Find the value of .
It appears that the expression might contain a typo or needs clarification, as the denominator , making the fraction undefined. If you could clarify or check if there’s an alternative expression, I’d be happy to assist with it.
Part (b)
If , then show that .
The cube root of a complex number can be written in polar form. Let’s start by converting to polar form:
-
Magnitude (Modulus):
-
Argument (Angle):
Let's call this angle for simplicity.
Then, the cube roots of can be written as: [ \sqrt[3]{2 + 3i} = \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{13}} \cdot \text{cis}\left(\frac{\theta + 2k\pi}{3}\right) \quad \text{for } k = 0, 1, 2 ] where .
Now, for , the modulus is still , and the argument is . Thus, [ \sqrt[3]{2 - 3i} = \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{13}} \cdot \text{cis}\left(\frac{-\theta + 2k\pi}{3}\right) \quad \text{for } k = 0, 1, 2 ]
Since taking the conjugate of a complex number corresponds to negating its angle, we can see that the cube roots of are the conjugates of the cube roots of . Therefore, if , then , as required.
Part (c)
Prove that where is an imaginary cubic root of unity.
The roots of unity satisfy the following properties:
Given , we want to find and .
