Watch your fucking language potty mouth

aight buddy

Dyk how to do it

just sub it in lol

z^13 = w
w^11 = z

z = w^11
= z^(13*11) = z^143
hence z^142 = 1
z is some 142nd root of unity
hence z = cos(2πm/142) + isin(2πm/142) for integer m
Im(z) = sin(2πm/142) = sin(πm/71) = sin(πm/n) where n = 71

Yeah i tried that cis form and shit

but yea idfk lmfao. imo just do trial papers or smn instead of some dude's decade old compilations that came from an older syllabus

whats a root of unity?

 

[SMARTYPANTS_SINGH]

whats a root of unity?

Damn looks like NGO needs to do that

 

[WeiWeiMan]

whats a root of unity?

bro what

an nth root of unity is a complex number of the form z^n=1

these can be written in the form z=cis(2kπ/n) for some integer k

some neat things about roots of unity

sum of roots of unity = 0 {via sum of roots =-b/a}
nth roots of unity can be expressed as 1, w, w^2,..., w^(n-1) where w is some nth root of unity not equal to 1

edit: also, they form regular polygons when graphed in complex plane (argand diagram), (also a cyclic polygon)

 

[SMARTYPANTS_SINGH]

I think u should learn it towards the end of complex

 

[kkk579]

Damn looks like NGO needs to do that

bruh I aint learn this shit yet but the thing is that we only have the locus subtopic left of complex

Yeah nah ngo hasnt taught us that strangely wtf

 

[kkk579]

Yeah nah ngo hasnt taught us that strangely wtf

Bruh ngo needa shape their shit cos wtf. Theres one prac q in the classwork book which mentions z^n=1 but nothing abt the line after which u wrote (expressed as z=cis2kpi/n), but the q isnt even similar to this one its different and doesnt use this root of unity = n concept or whatever

maybe it wasn't useful for it
you don't always need z=cis(2kπ/n) for roots of unity questions
if the question mentioned roots of unity, it contains roots of unity bruv

I used roots of unity for Q10 in the compilation however there may exist different approaches that do not use roots of unity

Yeah but it was only that one q it wasnt taught explicitly. It was also mentioned in the q to just use z^n=1 so i didnt even actually know that it was roots of unity when i did it

dam. Looks like dr du might do u better it seems.

damn mb ur right

ag1 crazy rizz brody

 

[sly_lyepat]

does someone have something like this but ext 1 for prelim and year 12
