Thanks for the help!

So in my case: arg(z^{1/2})=\frac{1}{2}arg(z) Then if we take z^{1/2}=n+i and set the argument of each side equal, we have: arg(z^{1/2})=arg(n+i) \frac{1}{2}\frac{\pi}{3}=arctan(\frac{1}{n}) \frac{\pi}{6} = arctan(\frac{1}{n}) Taking the tangent of both sides...

Homework Statement z = (n + i)^{2} n is a positive real number, and arg(z) = \frac{\pi}{3} Find the value of n. The attempt at a solution I am reviewing old problem sets from years past, and came across this problem that appears pretty simple. I have my old answer as n=\sqrt{3}...
