z = x- iy
w = y-
ix
We need to find the value of z such that z^2 =
w
First we will square z= x-
iy
==> z^2 = (x-iy)^2
==>
z^2 = (x^2 - 2xy*i + y^2*i^2)
But we know that i^2 =
-1
==> z^2 = (x^2 - 2xy*i -
y^2)
==> z^2 = (x^2-y^2) -
2xy*i
Now we will compare z^2 =
w
==> (x^2-y^2) - 2xy*i = y-
i*x
==> x^2 - y^2 =
y...........(1)
==> 2xy =
x
Divide by x.
==> 2y =
1
==> y= 1/2
Now we will
substitute into (1).
==> x^2 - y^2 =
y
==> x^2 - 1/4 = 1/2
==>
x^2 = 1/2 +1/4 = 3/4
==> x^2 =
3/4
==> x = +-sqrt3 / 2
Then
possible z values are:
z = x-
iy
z1 = (sqrt3)/2 -
(1/2)*i
z2= (-sqrt3) /2 - (1/2)*i
