Question
Which of the following is the third root of `(1 + i)/sqrt2`?
Options
`(cos pi/2 + isin pi/2)`
`(cos pi/12 + isin pi/12)`
`(cos pi/6 + isin pi/6)`
`(cos pi/4 + isin pi/4)`
MCQ
Solution
`underline((cos pi/12 + isin pi/12))`
Explanation:
`1/sqrt2 + i 1/sqrt2 = (cos pi/4 + isin pi/4)`
Now, `(1/sqrt2 + i 1/sqrt2)^{1/3} = (cos pi/4 + isin pi/4)^{1/3}`
= `(cos pi/12 + isin pi/12)`
