There's only one method here. The quadratic formula comes from completing the square (the second method).

4:04 wait what? How can you assume that a and b are whole numbers? They could be any real numbers right? 4 and 1 arent the only possibilities Edit: Riight i get it it could be anything. Any 2 numbers that multiply to 4 can satisfy the equation, and so any of the pairs would work.

I am always wondering what justification people use when they "complexify" numbers or values. Your video isn't necessarily wrong, but it just feels like it is missing something. Also, some 3d graphs showing 1^x = i. That might've looked cool.

An interesting question is if n and k should be different, because if you are working with an equality, both numbers (k and n) must be in the same "lap". So only solutions with k=n would be valid. It is only a guess, not a firm statement.

I think the issue with such problems is that generalising the base introduces extraneous solutions. I think I solved the problem using limt theory instead. I rewrote the problem as lim w^z = i, as w tend to 1, and found the limit of inf*i and -inf*i, in otherwords plus/minus complex infinity. What do think?

I don't know why you would think the WA answer is surprising, unless you meant it was a surprise that you mentioned you would cover it and then you failed to show the WA answer. As I have mentioned in many comments to your videos, WA always assumes the principal value of any multi-valued components that appear in equations. This is the only sensible way to handle it, since otherwise you end up with only 25% of a solution as in this problem.

Since in i^(4n) = 1, the equation becomes (i^4n)^z = i i^((4n)z) = (i^1)(i^4k) i^((4n)z) = i^(4k + 1) Comparing powers (4n)z = 4k +1 Or z = (4k +1)/4n With k = 0, n = 1 z = 1/4

If you define exponentiation as a function 1^(1/4) is definitely 1. A function can never be multivalued. You are confusing it with the equation z^4=1, which of course has 4 solutions. Have a look at De Moivre. I think we had the discussion a long time ago. (e^(2*pi*i))^z = cos(z * e^(2*pi*i)) + i * sin(z * e^(2*pi*i)) only if z is an integer. Else it is (cos(e^(2*pi*i)) + i*sin(e^(2*pi*i)))^z = 1^z. You are caught in a vicious circle. 1 to any complex number is 1. That‘s what in your words believe some. These some are those who know proper mathematics. This topic has become the equivalent of the Flatearthers in the mathematical world. Learn your stuff before you delude poor adepts. If you define exponentiation as an operator this will be another story. Much too ”complex“ for this channel, I am afraid.

“If you define exponentiation as a function 1^(1/4) is definitely 1. A function can never be multivalued.” Firstly, where in this video did aplusbi define exponentiation as a function? This will be relevant later, keep this in mind. Indeed, the narrow definition of a function specifies that one input has at most one output, but modern mathematical terminology allows for “multi-valued functions”. Perhaps you prefer “multi-valued relations”, but even in math the terminology changes over time. Function is just a more familiar way to say relation, especially when used with "multi-valued", as then it becomes unambiguous. When using strictly the principal-valued function of exponentiation, it’s correct that 1^(1/4) equals 1. "You are confusing it [i.e., 1^(1/4)-surelyred] with the equation z^4=1, which of course has 4 solutions.” As it's sometimes used on this channel, the notation in 1^(1/4) is basically shorthand for the solutions for z in the latter, it seems. "[a few sentences of math-surelyred] You are caught in a vicious circle." What's the "vicious circle" you speak of? “1 to any complex number is 1. That’s what in your words believe some. These some are those who know proper mathematics.” Is this quote also true when exponentiation is defined as an operation (see my note on the final quote)? And what is "proper mathematics"? And in the past was it ever the case that complex numbers were not part of "proper mathematics"? Additionally, your "proper mathematics" sounds dogmatic if it excludes the possibility of notations' meanings changing over time, and if at the same time "proper mathematics" is to be necessarily upheld. “This topic has become the equivalent of the Flatearthers in the mathematical world.” I do not see the similarity between this matter and the flat-earther debate: One deals chiefly with somewhat-arbitrary notation; The other regards the natural world, about which we can gain information using observations such as measurements, at least insofar as we uphold the principles of natural science and philosophical materialism each. “Learn your stuff before you delude poor adepts. [paragraph break-surelyred] If we define exponentiation as an operator this will be another story. Much too "complex" for this channel, I am afraid." When did aplusbi say that exponentiation wasn't used as an operator here? Why might aplusbi have deserved your polemic against him, if up until this point your comment was in the case of exponentiation being regarded as a "function"? Thanks, surelyred

1:58 I like the word “complexify”. It sounds better than “complicate” haha. Also, the way I see it, 1^(1/4) has 4 values, but I think 1 is the principal-value to that exponential. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_value This Wikipedia page says we can use the notation: “ pv 1^(1/4) “ if we really want to clarify that we just wanted the principal-value, 1 answer, namely 1. I remember watching a video by the youtuber “BlackPenRedPen” that was about these types of confusing exponential, but sadly I can’t find it anywhere.

It's a shame that you often don't finish your solutions, saying that the video would otherwise be too long. That is not so, there are many 15 to 20 minute math videos on youtube and some are even (much) longer. Completing your first method would have been instructive because the system a⁴ − 6a²b² + b⁴ = −7 a³b − ab³ = 6 has 16 solution pairs (a, b) but only four of these are real, and of course a and b are assumed to be real. Although this is a homogeneous system, setting b = at and solving for t does not seem to be the most efficient approach. You can rewrite this system as (a² − b²)² − 4a²b² = −7 ab(a² − b²) = 6 Now let a² − b² = d ab = p then we have d² − 4p² = −7 pd = 6 and substituting d = 6/p from the second of these equations into the first we get (6/p)² − 4p² = −7 4p⁴ − 7p² − 36 = 0 4p⁴ + 9p² − 16p² − 36 = 0 p²(4p² + 9) − 4(4p² + 9) = 0 (p² − 4)(4p² + 9) = 0 Since a and b must be real, p = ab must be real, so we only need to consider the real solutions p = 2 and p = −2 of this quartic equation in p. With p = 2 we have d = 3 and we get the system a² − b² = 3, ab = 2 which has the real solution pairs (a, b) = (2, 1) and (a, b) = (−2, −1). With p = −2 we have d = −3 and we get the system a² − b² = −3, ab = −2 which has the real solution pairs (a, b) = (−1, 2) and (a, b) = (1, −2). So, there are four complex numbers which have a fourth power −7 + 24i and these complex numbers are 2 + i, −2 − i, −1 + 2i, 1 − 2i. Of course, since i⁴ = 1, all these four complex numbers can be obtained by multiplying any one of these four numbers by consecutive powers of i. But there is only one of these four numbers which can be considered as _the_ fourth root of −7 + 24i, that is, its principal root, and that is 2 + i. Indeed, if you enter ∜(−7 + 24i) in WolframAlpha, it will only give you a single answer, which is 2 + i.

I don't understand why you introduce ln, it's so convoluted. Starting from e^(z pi)=2z, if you divide by e^(z pi) you get 1 = 2z e^(-z pi). Then you multiply by -pi/2 and get -pi/2 = -z pi e^(-z pi). From here you can apply the Lambert W function.

I would like to try to continue the second method. So, z=a+bi If we subtract the equations, we get -z* (I mean conjugate) +z=8i; -a+bi+a+bi=8i; 2bi=8i; b=4; If we add the equations, 3z* +3z +2|z|=28; 3a-3bi+3a+3bi+2√(a^2+b^2)=28 3a+√(a^2+16)=14 By Pythagorean triple (3;4;5), 3^2+4^2=5^2, hence it is kinda logical to input 3 for a, and it works. Hence, z=3+4i

There are an infinite number of solutions. The simplest are i/2 and -i/2 . To visualize the solutions in the complex plane, plot the following two equations, and look at the intersection points of the family of curves. x^2 + y^2 = 1/4 * exp(x * 2*pi) atan2(y , x) = atan2( sin(y*pi) , cos(y*pi) ) If you are using desmos, note that atan2(y , x) is entered as arctan( y , x )

One interesting thing that is obvious from the graph, but is more difficult to recognize from the equation(s) is that there are no solutions that have negative real parts.

If your graphing program cannot handle atan2(y , x), here is another set of equations you can use. x = - 1/pi * ln( 1/2 * sin(y*pi) / y ) cos(y*pi) = 2*x*exp(- x*pi) These families of curves are slightly more complicated than the ones with atan2(y , x), so I suggest using the previous equations if you can.

Well, first of all note that this is not a fourth root - it's an eighth root problem. The square root has to be dealt with too. We can write it like this: (-7 + 24*i)^(1/8) and if you convert that to polar form then it becomes trivial: (25 angle(106.25))^(1/8) 5^(1/4) angle(13.2825 + k*45), k = 0..7
