A hint to get started

Factor a cubic and choose exact principal arguments

Do not use a calculator.

(a) Show that z=2iz=2i is a root of z3+2z+4i=0z^3+2z+4i=0. marks Hence find the other roots. marks

(b) Given w1=−1−iw_1=-1-i and w2=−62+22iw_2=-\dfrac{\sqrt6}{2}+\dfrac{\sqrt2}{2}i, find their moduli and arguments exactly. marks
