Question

Show that the equation `z^3 + 2bar(z)` = 0 has five solutions

Sum

Solution

Given `z^3 + 2bar(z)` = 0

z3 = `-2 bar(z)`

|z3| = `|- 2| |bar(z)|`

 |z|3 = 2|z|  .......`[because |"z"| = |bar("z")|]`

|z|3 – 2|z| = 0

|z| [|z|2 – 2] = 0

|z| = 0|z|2 = 2

`"z"bar(z)` = 2

z = `2/bar(z) = +- sqrt(2)` ......`[because bar(z) = (- z^3)/2]`

z = `2/((z^3/-2)`

z4 = 4

It has 4 non zero solutions.

∴ Including z = 0 we have 5 solutions.
