Hi all. I am trying to find the cube roots of -sqrt(6)-sqrt(18)*I in polar form. I have used the following commands but it does not convert the argument properly. Can anyone help? readlib(polar); sola:=solve(z^3=-sqrt(6)-sqrt(18)*I,z); polar(sola[1]); polar(sola[2]); polar(sola[3]); I have also used the following but it could not simplify the argument/angle. sola1 := simplify(convert(sola[1], polar)); Can anyone please suggest a fix to this? The argument should be -2Pi/9, 4Pi/9 and -8Pi/9 with the length as 24^(1/6) or equivalent. Thanks.
