Answer

$w_0=3[cos(\frac{3\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{3\pi}{8})]$ $w_1=3[cos(\frac{7\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{7\pi}{8})]$ $w_2=3[cos(\frac{11\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{11\pi}{8})]$ $w_3=3[cos(\frac{15\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{15\pi}{8})]$

Work Step by Step

$r=|z|=81$ $θ=\frac{3\pi}{2}~~$ (Negative imaginary axis) Polar form: $z=81(cos\frac{3\pi}{2}+i~sin\frac{3\pi}{2})$ $w_k=\sqrt[4] {81}[cos(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{2}+2k\pi}{4})+i~sin(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{2}+2k\pi}{4})]$ $w_0=3[cos(\frac{3\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{3\pi}{8})]$ $w_1=3[cos(\frac{7\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{7\pi}{8})]$ $w_2=3[cos(\frac{11\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{11\pi}{8})]$ $w_3=3[cos(\frac{15\pi}{8})+i~sin(\frac{15\pi}{8})]$
