About this calculator
The complex number square root calculator is a professional complex number calculation tool, used to calculate the square root and nth root of complex numbers. The square root of complex numbers has important applications in the fields of complex functions, signal processing, quantum mechanics and other fields. Unlike real numbers, the square root of a complex number has multiple values (nth root has n values), and this calculator will give all root values. Supports input and output in rectangular coordinate form (a+bi) and polar coordinate form (r∠θ), and automatically performs form conversion. De Moivre's theorem is used for calculations to ensure accurate and reliable results.
What it calculates
The complex square root calculator finds values w such that w^2 = z. Except for zero, a complex number usually has two square roots.
Formula
If z = r(cos θ + i sin θ), its square roots are sqrt(r)(cos((θ + 2kπ) / 2) + i sin((θ + 2kπ) / 2)), where k = 0, 1.
Inputs
- Real part a of the complex number.
- Imaginary part b of the complex number.
Example
| z | Square roots | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 2, -2 | Positive real number |
| -4 | 2i, -2i | Negative real number gives imaginary roots |
| 3 + 4i | 2 + i, -2 - i | (2 + i)^2 = 3 + 4i |
How to interpret the result
A complex square root takes the square root of the modulus and halves the argument. The two roots are opposite points on the complex plane.
Common mistakes
- Do not keep only one square root.
- Negative numbers have square roots in the complex number system.
- Use the correct argument before halving the angle.
How to use
