De Moivre's Theorem and Complex Numbers

The video tutorial explains how to find the square root of a complex number, specifically negative three plus two i. It begins by converting the complex number into polar form and plotting it on the complex plane. The tutorial then calculates the modulus and argument, using inverse tangent to find the angle in radians. De Moivre's Theorem is applied to determine the square root, and the real and imaginary parts are calculated. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to understanding complex numbers and their properties.

What is the first step in finding the square root of a complex number using polar form?

• Find the imaginary part of the complex number

• Convert the complex number to polar form

• Convert the complex number to rectangular form
