What is the product of all the values of \((1-i)^{\frac{2}{5}}\) is equal to

  1. A \(-2 i\)
  2. B \(2 i\)
  3. C \(-2\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2 i\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(z=(1-i)^{2 / 5}\) \(\begin{aligned} & z=\left[(1-i)^2\right]^{1 / 5} \\ & z=(1-1-2 i)^{1 / 5} \\ & z=(-2 i)^{1 / 5} \Rightarrow z^5=-2 i \Rightarrow z^5+2 i=0\end{aligned}\) The product of all value of \(z\) is \(-\frac{2 i}{1}=-2 i\).
