Hi Gibsonj335,
Find all sixth roots of (-64)
the first one is 2i this has no real part so it is on the imaginary axis. it is 2eiπ/2
the difference in the angles (arguments) is going to be 2pi/6
the angles will be
So the first angle is pi/2 which equals 3pi/6
the angles (arguments) will be
3π6,3π+2π6,3π+4π6,3π+6π6,3π+8π6,3π+10π6 3π6,5π6,7π6,9π6,11π6,13π6 so the 6 roots will be: 2e3πi6,2e5πi6,2e7πi6,2e9πi6,2e11πi6,2e13πi6
I wasn't sure of the working so I used this for a reference:

2 e^((i pi)/6)~~1.7321+1.0000 i (principal root)
2 i
2 e^((5 i pi)/6)~~-1.7321+1.000 i
-2 i
2 e^(-(5 i pi)/6)~~-1.7321-1.000 i
2 e^(-(i pi)/6)~~1.7321-1.0000 i
