Solving for gives us for . Substituting these values back into the polar representation of gives us the four complex roots of the equation .
Steps
Step 1 :First, we can write the equation in the polar form. In polar form, a complex number can be represented as , where is the modulus of and is the argument of . In this case, and , so .
Step 2 :Next, we need to solve the equation . Using De Moivre's theorem, we know that if , then . Therefore, we get which is not equal to 16. So, we need to find a new angle such that . This gives us .
Step 3 :Solving for gives us for . Substituting these values back into the polar representation of gives us the four complex roots of the equation .
