Section 6.6 – Complex NumbersDeMoivre’s Theorem and nth Roots
IMAGINARY NUMBERS and the COMPLEX PLANE Imaginary axis Real Part Imaginary Part Real axis
PRODUCTS and QUOTIENTS of COMPLEX NUMBERS in TRIGONOMETRIC FORM
DeMoirve’s Theorem So, writing the complex number in It’s trigonometric form, we get…
A complex number has n distinct nth roots (i.e. 3 distinct 3rd, or cube, roots, and 5 distinct 5th roots, etc… )
