$z^2overlinez^3=32$



I have bought about the following way:



  1. to simplify it by $z^2overlinez^3=z^2overlinez^2overlinez=(zoverlinez)^2overlinez=|z|^4overlinez$


  2. to replace $z$ or by $z=x+iy$ or $z=re^itheta$ which should I choose? I have tried both with no success

          Yes we have that



          $$z^2overlinez^3=z^2overlinez^2overlinez=(zoverlinez)^2overlinez=|z|^4overlinez=32$$



          but then $bar z=x$ must be real and since $x^5=32 implies x=2$ the only solution is $z=2$.

            I think the observation that $bar z$ must be real is the key to doing this question simply and quickly

          If you use $z=re^itheta$ with $r in mathbb R_ge 0$ and $theta in mathbb R$



          then $z^2overlinez^3=32$ gives you $r^5 e^-itheta=32e^i2npi$ for integer $n$



          so matching coefficients gives $r=2$ and $theta = -2npi$



          and thus solutions are of the form $z=2e^-i2npi$ and the only one is $z=2$

            Quite often it useful to see what can you say about an absolute value of a complex number and this is such a problem.



            $$z^2overlinez^3=32implies |z^2overlinez^3|=32implies |z|^5 = 32implies |z|=2$$



            so $$z^2overlinez^3=32implies |z|^4overlinez=32implies overlinez=2implies z=2$$

              I like using



              $z = re^itheta; tag 1$



              we have



              $bar z = r e^-itheta; tag 2$



              we are given that



              $z^2 bar z^3 = 32; tag 3$



              using (1) and (2) yields



              $r^5 e^-itheta = r^2 e^2i theta r^3 e^-3i theta = z^2 bar z^3 = 32, tag 4$



              whence



              $r^5 = vert r vert^5 = vert r^5 e^-itheta vert = vert 32 vert = 32; tag 5$



              it follows that



              $r = 2; tag 6$



              therefore, by (4),



              $32 e^-itheta = 32 Longrightarrow e^-itheta = 1 Longrightarrow e^itheta = 1; tag 7$



              therefore (1) becomes



              $z = 2. tag 8$

                We have



                $$
                z^2bar z^3 = left(zbar zright)^2bar z = |z|^4bar z = 32Rightarrow bar z = alpha + 0(-j) = alpha = z
                $$



                hence



                $$
                alpha^5 = 32Rightarrow alpha = 2 = z
                $$

                  If you use $z=re^itheta$ with $r in mathbb R_ge 0$ and $theta in mathbb R$



                  then $z^2overlinez^3=32$ gives you $r^5 e^-itheta=32e^i2npi$ for integer $n$



                  so matching coefficients gives $r=2$ and $theta = -2npi$



                  and thus solutions are of the form $z=2e^-i2npi$ and the only one is $z=2$

                          Quite often it useful to see what can you say about an absolute value of a complex number and this is such a problem.



                          $$z^2overlinez^3=32implies |z^2overlinez^3|=32implies |z|^5 = 32implies |z|=2$$



                          so $$z^2overlinez^3=32implies |z|^4overlinez=32implies overlinez=2implies z=2$$
