find a complex number, in a+bi form, such that radical i = a+bi.
----
0+i = (cos(90) + isin(90)
-------------------------------
Sqrt(i) = (cos(90+360n) + isin(90+360n))^(1/2)
---
sqrt(i) = (cos[(90+360n)/2] + isin[(90+360n)/2]
---
Let n = 0, then:
sqrt(i) = [cos(45) + isin(45)] = (sqrt(2))/2 + i(sqrt(2))/2
---------------
Let n = 1, then:
sqrt(i) = [cos(225)+isin(225) = (-sqrt(2)/2)+i(sqrt(2))/2
-----------------
Both answers are in the form a+bi
