Answer

$w_0=\frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}i$ $w_1=-\frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}i$ $w_2=-3i$

Work Step by Step

$r=|z|=27$ · $θ=\frac{\pi}{2}~~$ (Positive imaginary axis) Polar form: $27i=27(cos~\frac{\pi}{2}+i~sin~\frac{\pi}{2})$ $w_k=\sqrt[3] {27}[cos(\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}+2k\pi}{3})+i~sin(\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}+2k\pi}{3})]$ $w_0=3(cos~\frac{\pi}{6}+i~sin~\frac{\pi}{6})=3(\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}+\frac{1}{2}i)=\frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}i$ $w_1=3(cos~\frac{5\pi}{6}+i~sin~\frac{5\pi}{6})=3(-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}+\frac{1}{2}i)=-\frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}i$ $w_2=3(cos~\frac{3\pi}{2}+i~sin~\frac{3\pi}{2})=-3i$
