Homework Statement
Solve [itex]\sqrt{-e^{(i2\pi)/3}}[/itex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I seem to be missing something simple, as I take:
[itex]\sqrt{-1}[/itex] = i
then,
[itex]e^{(1/2)*(i2\pi)/3}[/itex]
which comes out as: [itex]ie^{i\pi/3}[/itex]
however, the solution is:
[itex]-ie^{i\pi/3}[/itex], and I can't seem to see where that negative is coming from. Any direction would be great, thanks!
