Complex Roots by kosband
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example illustrates the concept of complex roots. It involves basic knowledge of quadratic functions and complex numbers. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Sequence, Circle, etc., the complex roots can be constructed. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
GeoGebra Commands & Parameters
Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → OSequence((Z^(1 / n) * exp((((i * 2) * 3.141592653589793) * k / n))), k, 0, n - 1) → RootsCircle(O, Z) → ZCircleVector(O, Z) → ZVectorCircle(O, (abs(ZVector))^(1 / n)) → WCirclePoint(WCircle) → WSequence(Text["W^{" + (k) + "}", W^(k), n > 0, n > 0], k, 2, n) → WLabelsSequence(Vector[O, W^(k)], k, 1, n) → WVectorsSequence(Text["W_{" + (k) + "}", Element[Roots, k], n > 0, n > 0], k, 1, n) → RootsLabelsSequence(Vector[O, Element[Roots, k]], k, 1, n) → RootsVectorsSequence(Circle[O, abs(W^(k))], k, 2, n - 1) → WCircles
