find the 4th roots of the complex number z(subscript)1=1+sqrt3i. please help!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

arctan(sqrt3/1) = 60 degrees

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the length of (1,sqrt3) = 2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

therefore:\[2^{1/4}(cos(60/4)+isin(60/4))\]

OpenStudy (arhin):

thats correct bravo

OpenStudy (avanti):

is that the one of the 4 roots? how do i find the other 3?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

add multiples of 90 degrees to the angle ... 3 times

OpenStudy (arhin):

yeah

OpenStudy (avanti):

so 4th root of 2 ( cos 105) + i sin(105) is the second one? and 4th root of 2(cos95) + isin(195) is the third ? and 4th root of 2(285) + i sin(185) is the fourth one?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(60/4) + 90n, n=0,1,2,3
