[quote author=jackpot]
in the form a+ib
z=-16+0i
[s]sorry, Mathematicians dont write the imaginary part with j like Physicists and Engineers [/s]

now, for the fourth root, i'll prefer working with the exponential form to avoid the impossible task of typing out square roots here.

z=-16+0i=16e^i(pi)=w4

Using the nth root of a complex number formula

w=nth root of |z| times e^i[(Argz+2k pi)/n] for k= 0, 1, 2 ,. . ., n-2, n-1

Thus, the fourth roots are simply

w= 2e^i(pi/4), 2e^i(3
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by MrCalculus(m): 10:50pm On Oct 25, 2013
hmm.......@jackpot..
first of all u change my ques from -16 to -16+oi....i followed that.
then later to 16e^i(pi) and w^4......i was totally loss by dat move cause u ignored d -ve sign attach to d 16.....
ALL D SAME DIS IS D ANSWER,BUT WAT I WANT IS D SOLUTION::
root2(1+j),,root2(-1+j),,root2(-1-j),,root2(1-j).....
PLZ WEN SOLVIN TRY TO USE SIMPLE TERMS CAUS ME NO TOO GUD 4 MATHS CAUS AM STILL A FRESHER.....
TNX IN ADVANCE@ALL MY GENERALS PLZ HELP ME OUT WIT D SOLUTION.

Mr Calculus: & DAT MAKES UR ANSWER WRONG......
it doesnt make my answer wrong, since I didn't answer your question tongue tongue tongue

hope you got my drift.
WEN I DID IT I GOT
-1/(2^1/3+2^2/3+2)
but i dont know if am right.
plz try again and others plz help out
you are totally, entirely, capitally and wholistically wrong since there are serious radicals in your denominator.

You started with a question having only one radical, and your wrong answer had 2 radicals in the denominator!!! tongue tongue tongue

guy, e^i(pi)=-1.

Sorry, your high-end username misled me into thinking that you can be able to fill in the gaps

well, let me be a little bit explanatory.

Let T=theta

then the Euler formula is e^iT=cos T+ i sin T

its easy to see that e^i(pi)=cos pi + i sin pi=-1+i0=-1

and so, -16=16(-1)=16e^i(pi). Hope you now get it?

then, about that w^4,

if w is a fourth root of a complex number z (i.e., w=z1/4), then, w^4=z. Simple elementary algebra.

So, if you use the Euler number on my first answer, you will have
2ei(pi/4)= 2(cos pi/4 + i sin pi/4)
=2[(root2)/2+i(root2)/2 ]=root2 + iroot2
= root2 (1+i)

did you notice that it correspond with your first answer?

I'll leave the remaining three for you to simplify in rectangular form as I just did. They should equally correspond with what you have there.

Sorry, I'll apologize once again that your username misled me into assuming that you are good in Math. My bad!!! cheesy cheesy cheesy

the question I answered is even 3 times tougher than what you asked.

Your question cheap sef.

1/(cuberoot2)-1= [ (22/3)/2 ] - 1
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 12:35am On Oct 26, 2013
smurfy: Solve the simultaneous equations
(10^x)(4^y) = 1
8^x = 10^(y+1)
taking Log10 of both sides, we have

x+yLog4=0. . . . . . . . . . . .1
xLog8-y=1. . . . .. . . . . . . .2
from eqn 1, x= -yLog4. Substitute this for x in Eqn 2
-(Log4)(Log8)y-y=1

thus,
y= -1/(1+ Log8 Log4)

x=-yLog4= Log4/(1 + Log8 Log 4)



thats all!

Excellent! The answers I have here are in log 2 format, but they are basically the same. Hats off...!

All right bro, thanks but can you help explain the 'C'?

....Their present ages are 72,42 and 6...the sum of these ages is 120$$$the objective is to find how old Mr Coker was when the the sum of their ages was 9 less the 120, which is 111, thus we have:
(72-x)+(42-x)+(6-x)=111
72-x+42-8+6-x=111
120-3x=111
-3x=111-120
-3x=-9
3x=9
X=3
This shows that 3 years ago, the sum of their ages was 111, and thus:
72-3=69..Mr Coker was 69 years old....still kudos to you on your 'A' solution

Here is my question.
1. Solve for x. If x+a^(x^a)=b. Where x=(x1,x2,x3). Note that ^ means cap.

2. Let W be a subspace of real space R^3. Give a geometrical describtion of W in terms of its dimension.
