z^9 -1 = (z^3-1)(z^6 + z^3 + 1) {Using different of cubes}ronnknee said:Show that the roots of z6 + z3 + 1 = 0 are among the roots of z9 - 1 = 0. Hence find the roots of z6 + z3 + 1 = 0 in modulus/argument form
z^9 = 1
cis 9@ = cis 2npi
@ = 2npi/9
@ = -/+ [2pi/9, 4pi/9, 6pi/9, 8pi/9 and 0]
Since cis +/-(6pi/9) and cis 0 are roots of (z^3-1), therefore cis of +/- [2pi/9, 4pi/9 8pi/9] are the roots
My previous q:
Complex no.: Sketch the locus of the point z:
arg [(z-5)/(z+1)] = pi/4. Find its cartesian equation
