Nth Roots of a Complex Number by Brian Sterr
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the nth roots of a complex number. Key mathematical concepts include complex numbers and roots. Using GeoGebra commands such as Sequence, Circle, and Textfield, the example dynamically shows the nth roots of a complex number. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
