Let's solve the problem step by step: ### **Given:** Find the fourth roots of \(-256i\). ### **Step 1: Express \(-256i\) in Polar Form** - \( -256i = 0 - 256i \) - The modulus \( r = 256 \) - The argument \( \theta \) is \( -\frac{\pi}{2} \) (since it is on the negative imaginary axis) So, \[ -256i = 256 \text{cis} \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \] where \(\text{cis}(\theta) = \cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta)\) --- ### **Step 2: Find the Fourth Roots** The nth roots of \( r \text{cis}(\theta) \) are: \[ w_k = \sqrt[4]{256} \text{cis} \left( \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2} + 2k\pi}{4} \right) \quad \text{for} \ k = 0, 1, 2, 3 \] - \(\sqrt[4]{256} = 4\) So, \[ w_k = 4 \text{cis} \left( \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2} + 2k\pi}{4} \right) \] Let's calculate each root: #### \(k = 0\): \[ w_0 = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{4}\right) = 4 \text{cis}\left(-\frac{\pi}{8}\right) \] #### \(k = 1\): \[ w_1 = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{-\frac{\pi}{2} + 2\pi}{4}\right) = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right) \] #### \(k = 2\): \[ w_2 = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{-\frac{\pi}{2} + 4\pi}{4}\right) = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{7\pi}{8}\right) \] #### \(k = 3\): \[ w_3 = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{-\frac{\pi}{2} + 6\pi}{4}\right) = 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{11\pi}{8}\right) \] --- ### **Step 3: Match with the Correct Graph** Look for the plot where the points are: - All at radius 4 from the origin - Angles: \( -\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{3\pi}{8}, \frac{7\pi}{8}, \frac{11\pi}{8} \) **The correct graph is the third one from the left.** --- ### **Step 4: Assign the Labels** Referring to the labels in the selected graph: - \(w_0\) is at \( -\frac{\pi}{8} \) (just below the positive real axis) - \(w_1\) is at \( \frac{3\pi}{8} \) (in the first quadrant) - \(w_2\) is at \( \frac{7\pi}{8} \) (in the second quadrant, near negative real axis) - \(w_3\) is at \( \frac{11\pi}{8} \) (in the third quadrant) --- ### **Step 5: Give the Exact Roots** \[ \boxed{ \begin{align*} w_0 &= 4 \text{cis}\left(-\frac{\pi}{8}\right) \\ w_1 &= 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right) \\ w_2 &= 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{7\pi}{8}\right) \\ w_3 &= 4 \text{cis}\left(\frac{11\pi}{8}\right) \\ \end{align*} } \] If you need them in rectangular form (\(a + bi\)), let me know!
