find all the fourth roots of -8 in Cartesian form.

simplify as much as possilbe

 

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \mathbf{z^4} & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{-8 \qquad z_1,\ z_2,\ z_3,\ z_4 =\ ?}\\\\ z^4 &=& (-2)\cdot 4 \quad &| \quad \pm\sqrt{} \\ z^2 &=& \pm 2\cdot \sqrt{ -2 } \\ z^2 &=& \pm 2\cdot \sqrt{ (-1) \cdot 2 } \\ z^2 &=& \pm 2\cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{ -1 } \quad &| \quad \sqrt{ -1 } = i\\\\ \mathbf{z^2} & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{\pm 2\cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot i }\\ \hline \end{array}\)
