z = ____ + ____ i

Answer 1

If z ⁷ = 128i, then there are 7 complex numbers z that satisfy this equation.

$z^7 = 128i = 2^7i = 2^7e^{i\frac\pi2}$

$\implies z=\sqrt[7]{2^7} e^{i\frac17\left(\frac\pi2+2n\pi\right)}$

(where n = 0, 1, 2, …, 6)

$\implies z = 2 e^{i\left(\frac\pi{14}+\frac{2n\pi}7\right)}$

$\displaystyle\implies z = 2 \left(\cos\left(\frac\pi{14}+\frac{2n\pi}7\right)+i\sin\left(\frac\pi{14}+\frac{2n\pi}7\right)\right)$
