Question 1091281: Does anyone know if there is a quick way to solve the type of problem below? I know I can use de moivre's theorem, but it takes me a while. Not necessarily looking for the solution to this particular problem, just want to know if there is a faster way to do it than de moivre's theorem. Thanks!
Problem: Find the three cube roots of -7+5i and express the roots in polar coordinates.

.
Properly use deMoivre's formula is the unique way to solve this problem.
It is unique and it is quite fast (fast enough).
So, learn it and use it.
Good luck and happy learning !
