If z=x-iy and w=y-ix, how could i find all values of z which satisfy z^2=w?i stands for imaginary

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
