in my homework i got a question that told me to solve the following equation in C
equation.jpg

can someone tell me what is this question? what is it means "to solve in C"? i know(if i am right) that C is the field of complex numbers but i don't really gets what is going on with that question.

i am not asking for a solution at all i just want to know what is it and where i can read about the subject of this question.

I'm pretty sure it means to solve for z, with z being a complex number.

i just don't understand what it means. can you explain me or show me where i can read about equations like that?

Your textbook, for starters. Surely they must have an example of finding the complex roots in an equation.
