To find the primary fourth root of the complex number  a + b·i,  place the number into  r·cis( theta ) form.

 

r  =  sqrt( a2 + b2 )

theta  =  tan-1( b/a )    [make certain that the angle is in the correct quadrant; in this case, the 2nd[

 

The primary fourth root will be:  r1/4·cis( theta/4 ).

 

To find the other three roots, change the angle by adding  pi/2, pi, and 3pi/2 to the original angle.
