Find all complex numbers z such that z^4=-4
z4=−4→z2=2√−1→z=√2i
What can you do next?
It is a power of 4 so there are 4 answers.
first solution
z4=−4z4=4cis180z=(4cis180)1/4z=√2(cis(180∗14))z=√2(cis(45))z=√2(1+i)The other solutions will be z=√2(−1+i),z=√2(−1−i)z=√2(1−i)
Here is a long video that looks like it could be quite good...
That is if you want some insight.
