Question: For a polynomial modeling the trajectory of a seed dispersal algorithm, $z^6 + z^4 + z^2 + 1 = 0$, find the maximum imaginary part of a root expressed as $\cos \theta$, where $\theta$ is an acute angle.
Solution: Factor the polynomial as $\frac{z^8 - 1}{z^2 - 1} = 0$ (excluding roots of $z^2 = 1$). The roots are the 8th roots of unity except $\pm 1$. The roots with maximum imaginary part are $e^{i\pi/4}$ and $e^{i3\pi/4}$, with imaginary part $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \cos(\pi/4)$.
Question: Compute the sum of all angles $x \in [0^\circ, 360^\circ]$ satisfying $\sin(2x) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, relevant to the symmetry of a linguistic phoneme cycle.
Solution: Solve $2x = 60^\circ, 120^\circ, 420^\circ, 480^\circ$ within $0^\circ \leq 2x \leq 720^\circ$. Thus, $x = 30^\circ, 60^\circ, 210^\circ, 240^\circ$. Sum: $30 + 60 + 210 + 240 = 540^\circ$.
Question: Compute $(\cos 15^\circ + i \sin 15^\circ)^{12}$ using De Moivre’s theorem, analogous to phase shifts in a neural network’s activation function.
