how to find the roots of a complex number?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

You are looking for what's called "roots of unity"

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Unless, you are looking for just the square root. The square root is a special case we can handle algebraically.

idk Really what u refer to But i think that may help u the complex no. is denoted by (i) where (i)=sqrt-1 so: (i)^2=-1 so:(i)^3=(i)^2.(i)=-(i) so:(i)^4=(i)^2.(i)^2=-1.-1=1 & So On.....

@JopHP , he is looking for an application of De moivre's theorem in trigonometry.

hmmm.. i got it thnx @inkyvoyd

OpenStudy (merchandize):

yes @inkyvoyd i am looking for de moivre's theorem...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(cosx + i.sinx)^(N)=[cos(x+2.Pi.r) + i.sin(x+2.Pi.r)]^(N) =[(cos.N.(x+2.Pi.r) + i.sin.N.(x+2.Pi.r)]
