please help me solve the equation: \"x=i%5E%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If you are studying DeMoivre's Theorem in a trig class,
\n" ); document.write( "i = (cos(90+360n) + i sin(90+360n) where n = 1,2,3....
\n" ); document.write( "So: i^(1/3) = cos[(1/3)(90+360n)] + isin[(1/3)(90+360n)]
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Letting n = 1,then 2,then3 will give you three cube roots of \"i\".
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "If n=1 you get: i^(1/3) = cos(150) + isin(150)
\n" ); document.write( "If n=2 you get: i^(1/3) = cos(270) + isin(270)
\n" ); document.write( "If n=3 you get: i^(1/3) = cos(30) + isin(30)
\n" ); document.write( "================================================
