Vedclass · Answer

(D) We need to find the cube roots of $-i$. In polar form,$-i = \cos(\frac{3\pi}{2}) + i\sin(\frac{3\pi}{2})$. The cube roots are given by $z_k = \cos(\frac{3\pi/2 + 2k\pi}{3}) + i\sin(\frac{3\pi/2 + 2k\pi}{3})$ for $k = 0, 1, 2$. For $k=0$: $z_0 = \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) + i\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}) = i$. For $k=1$: $z_1 = \cos(\frac{7\pi}{6}) + i\sin(\frac{7\pi}{6}) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}i = \frac{-\sqrt{3} - i}{2}$. For $k=2$: $z_2 = \cos(\frac{11\pi}{6}) + i\sin(\frac{11\pi}{6}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}i = \frac{\sqrt{3} - i}{2}$. Since both $\frac{-\sqrt{3} - i}{2}$ and $\frac{\sqrt{3} - i}{2}$ are roots of $(-i)^{1/3}$,the correct option is $D$.

The value of $(-i)^{1/3}$ is
