Find all the solutions of $z^2-(1+3i)z-8-i=0$












3












$begingroup$


I am stuck on a problem and I was hoping someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.




I want to find all the roots of:



$$z^2-(1+3i)z-8-i=0$$




There are two ways I tried to approach this.




  1. Quadratic formula:


$$begin{align} z_1,z_2 &=-frac{p}{2}pmsqrt{left( frac{p}{2}right)^2-q} \ & implies z_1,z_2=frac{1+3i}{2}pmsqrt{left( frac{(-1-3i)}{2}right)^2-(-8-i)}\ &= frac{1+3i}{2} pmsqrt{frac{24+10i}{4} }=frac{1+3i pmsqrt{24+10i}}{2}end{align}$$




  1. Completing the square:


$$begin{aligned} z^2-(1+3i)z-8-i &=0 \ & iff left(z-left( frac{1+3i}{2}right) right)^2-8-i=left( frac{1+3i}{2}right)^2 \ & iff u^2=frac{24+10i}{4} \ & iff u=pmfrac{sqrt{24+10i}}{2} \ & iff z_{1,2}=frac{1+3i pmsqrt{24+10i}}{2}end{aligned} $$



Using both methods I arrive at the same result. However, wolframalpha tells me the roots are:



$$z_1=-2+i \ z_2=3+2i$$



I have tried everything (writing it in in exponential form, graphing, etc.) but I have no idea how I can arrive at those two roots. What am I doing wrong?

To find square roots $;pm(a+ ib);$ of $;24+10i,;$ solve the equation
$$(a+ib)^2=24+10i.$$
Real and imaginary parts of RHS and LHS are equal, and also absolute values:



$$begin{aligned}a^2-b^2&=24\ 2ab&=10\a^2+b^2&=26end{aligned}$$
We get $a^2=25$ and $ab=5$ hence $b$ has the sign of $a.$ This gives the two square roots $pm(5+i).$

See the answer to this question for how to extract complex square roots. Note carefully: when you have an odd prime root of a complex number you can't extract it except with trigonometry, but square roots can be rendered by algebra alone.

    Ah I see. I would have do use de moivres formula then right?

    For odd prime roots yes. For square roots no.

    So for example: $z^8=-3+sqrt{3}i$ I could solve without de moivres formula?

    Yup, you just do three square root extractions. The algebra gets complicated but the concept works.

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

Image
0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
