Answer

Find the 5th root in the third quadrant: 3215(cos(180+60+360k5)+isin(180+60+360k5)), for k=0,1,2,3,4

Steps

Step 1 :Convert to polar form: 32(cosθ+isinθ)

Step 2 :Find r and θ: r=162+(163)2=32 and θ=tan1(16316)=60

Step 3 :Find the 5th root in the third quadrant: 3215(cos(180+60+360k5)+isin(180+60+360k5)), for k=0,1,2,3,4
