  1. What does a complex root signify? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    A complex root of a polynomial can have some significance itself when the roots of the polynomial have significance in general. One example that comes to mind where the roots of polynomials have a …

  2. Graphically solving for complex roots -- how to visualize?

    We can present complex roots to equation on the "complex plane" with one axis for the real part and the other for the imaginary part. You can play with, for instance, WolframAlpha, to give it a polynomial …

  3. Is there an intuitive way of visualising complex roots?

    Oct 19, 2017 · The axis of symmetry is the real part of the complex roots; the imaginary part can be found by subtracting the square of the axis (here, $4$) from the intercept ($13-4=9$) and then taking …

  4. Why can't a polynomial of degree $n$ have less than $n$ (complex) …

    Aug 10, 2021 · Regardless, once you know any non-constant complex polynomial has at least one root, the proof that the number of roots is exactly the degree follows, for instance, by induction on the degree.

  5. radicals - How do I get the square root of a complex number ...

    Jun 9, 2011 · 82 The square root is not a well defined function on complex numbers. Because of the fundamental theorem of algebra, you will always have two different square roots for a given number.

  6. complex numbers - What is $\sqrt {i}$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 12, 2015 · The square root of i is (1 + i)/sqrt (2). [Try it out my multiplying it by itself.] It has no special notation beyond other complex numbers; in my discipline, at least, it comes up about half as …

  7. What is a meaning of a complex roots? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 24, 2022 · 0 In the simplest sense, what does a complex root on the complex plane actually mean? For polynomial equations a root is a x-coordinate of where the curve crosses the x-axis. I just find it …

    Jan 22, 2019 · How to do partial fraction decomposition with complex roots? Ask Question Asked 6 years, 10 months ago Modified 6 years, 10 months ago

  9. Proof that sum of complex unit roots is zero

    Aug 9, 2014 · 14 Nongeometricrally, nth-roots of unity are the solutions to the equation xn − 1 = 0 x n 1 = 0. The xn x n coeff is 1 1 and the xn−1 x n 1 coeff is 0 0, so the sum of the roots is zero. …

  10. Explaining the nature of complex roots of a quartic

    Aug 20, 2024 · Thank you for this. I think I will start by demonstrating the distributive and commutative properties of the complex conjugate, then using those to state that if a complex numbers is a root of …
