Complex Numbers and Their Roots

The video tutorial explains how to find the four complex roots of the equation z^4 = -72 + 72√3i using Euler's formula. It covers plotting the complex number on the coordinate plane, determining the modulus and angles, and using coterminal angles to find exponential forms. The tutorial then demonstrates how to simplify and evaluate these forms to find the complex roots in polar form, ultimately expressing them in the form x + yi.
