Find all complex numbers $z$ such that $z^4 = -4.$ Note: All solutions should be expressed in the form $a+bi$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers.
By Hamilton's Theorem, the solutions are z = 4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4), 4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4 + pi/4), 4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4 + 2*pi/4), and 4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4 + 3*pi/4). Since 4^{1/4} = sqrt(2) and e^(pi*i/4) = (1 + i)/sqrt(2), the first solution is 1 + i. Then the other roots work out as
4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4 + pi/4) = 1 - i,
4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4 + 2*pi/4) = -1 - i, and
4^{1/4}*e^(pi*i/4 + 3*pi/4) = -1 + i.
