w=-1+√3 i
show w is a root of z^3-8=0
It would be just as easy to find all the roots of z^3-8=0, since it factorises nicely.
(z-2)(z^2+2z+4)=0
z=2 and z^2+2z+4=0
(z+1)^2-3i^2=0
(z+1)-√3i=0 and z+1+√3i=0
therefore z=2, -1-√3 and w where w=-1+√3 i
But untouchablecuz's method is better for most Q since its more of a generalised method.
