    How can I solve the complex equation z^6 - 4z^3 + 4 = i?

    The problem says: Find all solutions z of the equation: z^6 - 4z^3 + 4 = i First I factored the equation into (z^3 -2)^2 = i, set w= z^3 -2 and solved w^2 = i for w_1 = sqrt(i) and w_2 = -sqrt(i). I tried setting z^3 - 2 = sqrt(i) and solving but I get stuck there. I really have no idea how...

    Help complex equation cos(z) = -isin(z)

    Homework Statement Let z be a complex number. I want to solve cos(z)= -i*sin(z). The Attempt at a Solution Here's my work: cos(z) = -i*sin(z) implies cos(z) + isin(z) = 0. Therefore exp(i*z) = 0. Now put z= x+iy then i*z = i*(x+iy) = ix - y, hence exp(i*z) = exp(ix-y) =...

    Solve complex equation numerically

    all i want to do is finding all the solution in a area. i know the Newton's method, but the problem is how can i divide the area into much smaller areas that i can judge it whether include a solution and can only have one solution. and how can judge it? any talk will be appreciated...

    How to fit a complex equation?

    Z(x)=(50*m+m^2*tanh((a+b*i)*x))/(m+50*tanh((a+b*i)*x)) where i is imaginary unit, x is the independent variable, Z is the dependent variable, and a, b and m are the parameters. We measures variable Z at a discrete set of values of variable x: x=[1, 2, 3, 4, ...20] Z=[57.6286+0.6328*i...

    What are the solutions to the equation (z+1)^4=1-i?

    find all solutions of the given equation: (z+1)^4=1-i im not sure if i did this right, but here's what i did the first thing that i did was notice that 1-i = 2^1/2 * (cos (pi/4) + i*sin(pi/4)) then i found z= [2^(1/2*1/4) * (cos (pi/4) + i*sin (pi/4) )^1/4] -1 then using de moivre's thrm...

    Solve Complex Equation: 2x + 2iy + ix - y - 1 = 0

    Solve the following equations for the real variables x and y. (b) \left ( \frac{1 + i}{1 - i} \right )^2 + \frac{1}{x + iy} = 1 + i I reduced this to 2x + 2iy + ix - y - 1 = 0 but I cannot get any further. Have I reduced it correctly?

    Is x = -i a Solution for This Complex Equation?

    im not sure i can fully remember the rules for complex numbers but i have to solve an equation that has 3 solutions to equal zero. so far i have (x=2), (x=i) and i think there was a + rule for a solution with complex numbers that there would always be a conjugate solution of it. so i figured...
