\n" ); document.write( "Put the numbers in \"e%5E%28ix%29\" format and use deMoivre's Theorem.

\n" ); document.write( "deMoivre's Theorem says that to find the n-th root of a complex number, you take the n-th root of the modulus and divide the angle by n.

\n" ); document.write( "\"cos%28x%29%2Bi%2Asin%28x%29+=+cis%28x%29+=+e%5E%28ix%29\"
