Final answer:
To convert the complex number 1+i to polar form, one would calculate the magnitude, √2, and the angle, 45 degrees, resulting in √2(cos(45°)+i sin(45°)). The three cube roots of 1+i are found by taking the cube root of the magnitude and dividing the angle by 3, then adding multiples of 120° for each root.
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding Polar Form and Cube Roots in Complex Numbers
The student's question seems to be asking about two separate problems in complex numbers:
- Converting the complex number 1+i to polar form.
- Finding the three cube roots of the given complex number 1+i.
To find the polar form of 1+i:
- Calculate the magnitude (r) using the formula √(x²+y²), which is √(1²+1²) = √2.
- Calculate the angle (θ) using the arctan(y/x), which is arctan(1/1) = π/4 or 45 degrees.
The polar form is r(cosθ+i sinθ) or √2(cos(45°)+i sin(45°)).
For the three cube roots:
- The magnitude of each root will be the cube root of √2.
- The angles will be θ/3 + k(360°/3) for k=0,1,2.
The three cube roots are then: (√2)¹³(cos(15°)+i sin(15°)), (√2)¹³(cos(135°)+i sin(135°)), and (√2)¹³(cos(255°)+i sin(255°)).
