DeMoivre's Theorem and nth Roots: The nth Roots of Unity

For Students 11th - Higher Ed
The nth roots of unity all have a magnitude of one. Scholars use the unit circle and DeMoivre's Theorem to find the complex roots of one and discover that the complex numbers all lie on the unit circle and are equally spaced around it...

Roots of Unity

For Teachers 11th - 12th Standards
Visualize the nth roots of unity. Pupils calculate the nth roots of unity and find all n roots. Learners plot the solutions in the complex plane and observe that they are the vertices of a regular n-gon inscribed in the unit circle....

Does Every Complex Number Have a Square Root?

For Teachers 11th - 12th Standards
Help the class find a better way. Pupils recall finding nth roots or a complex number in polar form from a previous module to find the square root of a complex number. Using the second installment in a series of 23, scholars discover it...
