We have to find the square root of -1+2i i.e. \sqrt{-1+2i}
We will find the square roots of the complex number of the form x+yi , where x and y are real numbers, by the following method:
Let z^2=(x+yi)^2=-1+2i
i.e. (x^2-y^2)+2xyi=-1+2i
Comparing real and imaginary terms we get,
x^2-y^2=-1 -------> (1)
2xy=2 implies xy=1 ------>(2)
So from (2) we get, y=1/x . Substituting this in (1) we have,
x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}=-1
i.e. x^4+x^2-1=0
implies x^2=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}
=0.62, -1.62
Therefore, x=\pm\sqrt{0.62}=\pm 0.79
x^2=-1.62 is discarded since it gives imaginary value.
hence,
When x=0.79, y= 1.27
x=-0.79 , y= -1.27
i.e we have, \sqrt{-1+2i}=0.79+1.27i or -0.79-1.27i
=\pm (0.79+1.27i)
Hence the square roots of -1+2i are: \pm (0.79+1.27i)
