Question 930046
find all the complex roots. leave your answer is polar form with arguments in degress. The complex fourth of -25i
--------
r = 25
theta = 270 degrees
-----
-25i = 25(cis(270))
-----
Your Problem::
(-25i)^(1/4) = 25^(1/4)(cis(270/4))
(-25i)^(1/4) = 25*(1/4)cis((270+360)/4) = 25^(1/4)cis(270/4 + 90)
(-25i)^(1/4) = 25^(1/4)cis((270+720)/4) = 25^(1/4)cis(270/4 + 180)
etc.
