Answer

Ans. $\frac{1}{√2}+\frac{i}{√2}$, $\frac{-1}{√2}+\frac{-i}{√2}$

Work Step by Step

Given:- z=i $ z^{1/2}=i^{1/2}$ As we can write i=$cosπ/2+isinπ/2$ $ z^{1/2}=[cos{(\frac{π}{2}+{2πk})}+isin({\frac{π}{2}+{2πk})}]$ After putting k=0, 1 We get = $cos\frac{π}{4}+isin\frac{π}{4}$,$cos\frac{5π}{4}+isin\frac{5π}{4}$ =$\frac{1}{√2}+\frac{i}{√2}$, $\frac{-1}{√2}+\frac{-i}{√2}$ Ans.
