Homework Statement
Hi,
I have to solve this exercise:
"Given that (a+bi)^2 = 3+4i obrain a pair of simultaneous equations involving a and b. Hende find the two square roots of 3+4i. Hence find the two suqre roots of 3+4i."
I don't really know to do do it.
2. The attempt at a solution
Well, that's what I thought:
(a+bi)^2 = 3+4
we expand:
a^2+2abi-b^2=3+4i
we group them:
2abi-4i=-a^2+b^2+3
common factor:
2i(ab-2)=-ab^2+b^2+3
2i=(-a^2+b^2+3)/(ab-2)
And now I don't even know if what I've done is good, and if it's good what should be the next step?
