how will you find the cube root of 6. Need details explanation
Answers
Answer:
³√6=1.817
Step-by-step explanation:
z=x+iy
i=√-1
z³=(x+iy)³
=x³+3ix²y+3ixy²+i³y³
=x³+3ix²y-3xy²-iy³
=x(x²-3y²)+iy(3x²-y²)
z³=6
x(x²-3y²)=6
y(3x²-y²)=0
y=0
y²=3x²
-8x³=6
x=-frac12³√6~+/-0.90856
y=+/-√3x~+/-1.57367
-0.90856+1.57367i
i.e.,1.817(app.)
Step-by-step explanation:
6 does not have a cube root, it has three cube roots. Indeed, this is the case for every number, except for 0.
However, like all real numbers, 6 has only one real root; as someone else has already said is approximately 1.81712
What about the other roots? Well, we have to look at the complex plain for these.
Let us call one of these roots z=x+iyz=x+iy , where i=−1−−−√i=−1
If zz is a cube root of 6, then z3=(x+iy)3z3=(x+iy)3
=x3+3ix2y+3i2xy2+i3y3=x3+3ix2y+3i2xy2+i3y3
=x3+3ix2y−3xy2−iy3=x3+3ix2y−3xy2−iy3
=x(x2−3y2)+iy(3x2−y2)=x(x2−3y2)+iy(3x2−y2)
As z3=6z3=6 ,
x(x2−3y2)=6x(x2−3y2)=6
y(3x2−y2)=0→y=0y(3x2−y2)=0→y=0 OR y2=3x2y2=3x2
If y=0y=0 , then zz is the real number xx ; we already know this is 1.81712
If y2=3x2y2=3x2 , then (from 1.), −8x3=6→x=−frac126–√3≈−0.90856−8x3=6→x=−frac1263≈−0.90856
From 2., y=±3–√x≈±1.57367y=±3x≈±1.57367
The cube roots (to 6 decimal plsces) are thus:
1.817121.81712
−0.90856+1.57367i−0.90856+1.57367i
−0.90856−1.57367i−0.90856−1.57367i
