How would I solve these questions? Find complex roots in polar form 1)the fourth roots of 4-4sqrt3i 2)cube roots of -1-i

OpenStudy (loser66):

1) we have formula for this fourth root of z means \(\sqrt[4]z\) , right?

OpenStudy (loser66):

it is \(z^{1/4}\) , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i think so

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, if you set \(z= 4-4i\sqrt3\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

your x =4, your y = -4sqrt 3

OpenStudy (loser66):

hence in polar form, you have z =???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry im still new to this concept. im a little confused about how we split the equation to find x and y

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, read it first http://www.intmath.com/complex-numbers/4-polar-form.php
