here's the questions of the week:
(i) a and b are real numbers such that the sum of the squares of the roots of the equation x^2 + (a+ib)x + 3i = 0 is 8. find all possiible pairs of a and b.
(ii) 1+ i is a root of the equation x^2 + (a+2i)x + (5+ib) = 0, where a and b are real. find the...
here's the question of the week:
if w is a complex cube root of unity, evaluate a+bw+cw^2/b+cw+aw^2 where a, b and c are real numbers.
much help appreciated
1. form the equation whose roots are 2+w and 2+w^2, where w is a complex root of unity.
2. if p is one of the complex roots of x^7-1=0, form the equation whose roots are: p+p^2+p^4 and p^6+p^5+p^3.
help would be appreciated.
thanks
i can do this question by trial and error but i dont know the proper way...
z=1+isqrt3. find the smallest positive interger for which z^n is real and evaluate z^n for this value of n. show that there is no integral value of n and for which z^n is imaginary.
