Answer to Problem 9AYU
There will be exactly three cube roots for the complex number.
Explanation of Solution
Let us consider a non-zero complex numberfor which the cube root to be found. So, by using the theorem for finding complex roots, the cube root of this complex number can be found-
where
For cube root the value of is 3 and hence, the values of
are
As takes three values, there will be exactly three cube roots for the complex number.
Thus, every nonzero complex number will have exactly three cube roots.
