Question 236214: Hello,
I'm to find the third roots of 343i written in polar form with arguments in radians. I don't know how to approach this one. Is it actually "0 + 343i"? If so, I find the absolute value to be 343. Then tan (b/a) = tan (343/0) which is undefined. How do I find the angles?
Please help me as I'm lost...

You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm to find the third roots of 343i written in polar form with arguments in radians. I don't know how to approach this one. Is it actually "0 + 343i"? If so, I find the absolute value to be 343. Then tan (b/a) = tan (343/0) which is undefined. How do I find the angles?
--------------
It is 0 + 343i, and r = 343.
The angle is 90, but you don't need the tangent
z = 0 + 343i = 343cis90
--------
Cube roots are:
7cis30 = 7cis(pi/6) = 7cos(30) + 7isin(30) = 7sqrt(3)/3 + 3i/2
---------------------
Do these 2 the same way.
7cis150 = 7cis(5pi/6)
7cis270 = 7cis(2pi/3)
