Problem with solving a complex equation












1












$begingroup$


I'm having trouble solving this equation
$$Z^3=-4ibar Z$$
I need to find Z, I've tried multiplying the equation by Z but still couldnt solve it.



I'll be glad for help.

          Note that



          $$Z^3=-4ibar Zimplies |Z^3|=4|Z|implies |Z|=0 quad lor quad |Z|=2$$



          and for $|Z|=2$



          $$Z^3=-4ibar Ziff Z^4=-4iZbar Z=-16i implies Z=2(-i)^frac14$$

            @user534957 I've taken the modulus both sides.

          $begingroup$

          I'd try taking the modulus of both sides: $|Z|^3=4|Z|$, from which $|Z| = 0$ or $2$.



          For the case $|Z|=2$, we have $Z=2e^{itheta}$.



          Can you progress from there?

            $$bar Z = X - iY$$



            Assuming the "bar" symbol denotes the complex conjugate.



            If you multiply by $Z$ you get



            $$(X + iY)^4 = 4i(X^2 + Y^2)$$



            $$(X + iY)^4 = 4i (X + iY)(X - iY)$$



            $$(X + iY)^3 = 4i(X - iY)$$

                    HINT.



                    $$Z = X + iY$$



                    $$bar Z = X - iY$$



                    Assuming the "bar" symbol denotes the complex conjugate.



                    If you multiply by $Z$ you get



                    $$(X + iY)^4 = 4i(X^2 + Y^2)$$



                    $$(X + iY)^4 = 4i (X + iY)(X - iY)$$
