Q. Consider the complex numberz=−252+252iWhich of the following complex numbers best approximates z3 ? Hint: z has a modulus of 5 and an argument of 135∘.Choose 1 answer:(A) −10.6+10.6i(B) −125(C) −125i(D) 88.4+88.4i
Identify modulus and argument: Identify the modulus and argument of the complex number z. The complex number z is given in the form z=a+bi, where a=−252 and b=252. The modulus of z is the distance from the origin to the point (a,b) in the complex plane, which can be calculated using the formula ∣z∣=a2+b2.
Calculate modulus of z: Calculate the modulus of z.∣z∣=(−252)2+(252)2=(225)+(225)=25=5.The modulus of z is indeed 5, as given in the hint.
Determine argument of z: Determine the argument of z.The argument of z is the angle θ made with the positive x-axis. Given that z has an argument of 135 degrees, we can use this information directly without calculation.
Express z in polar form: Express z in polar form.Using the modulus and argument, we can express z in polar form as z=∣z∣(cos(θ)+isin(θ)). For z, this is z=5(cos(135°)+isin(135°)).
Calculate z3 using De Moivre's Theorem: Calculate z(3) using De Moivre's Theorem.De Moivre's Theorem states that (r(cos(θ)+isin(θ)))n=rn(cos(nθ)+isin(nθ)). For z(3), this becomes z(3)=53(cos(3×135°)+isin(3×135°)).
Compute value of z3: Compute the value of z3.z3=125(cos(405°)+isin(405°)). Since 405° is equivalent to 45° (as we can subtract full rotations of 360°), we have z3=125(cos(45°)+isin(45°)).
Simplify expression for z3: Simplify the expression for z3.cos(45°)=sin(45°)=2/2. Therefore, z3=125(2/2+i2/2).
Calculate real and imaginary parts of z3: Calculate the real and imaginary parts of z3. The real part is 125(2/2) and the imaginary part is 125(2/2)i. Multiplying these out gives us z3=1252/2+1252/2i≈88.4+88.4i.
