【归档】What is the square root of i?

Note: 旧的wordpress博客弃用,于是将以前的笔记搬运回来。


Solution:
Let z = a + b i z = a + bi z=a+bi be the complex number which is a square root of i, that is
z 2 = ( a + b i ) 2 = a 2 − b 2 + 2 a b i = i z^{2} = (a + bi)^{2} = a^{2} - b^{2} + 2abi = i z2=(a+bi)2=a2b2+2abi=i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we have
{ a 2 − b 2 = 0 , 2 a b = 1. \begin{cases} a^{2} - b^{2} & = 0,\\ 2ab & = 1.\end{cases} {a2b22ab=0,=1.
The two real solution to this pair of equations are
{ a = 1 2 , b = 1 2 , \begin{cases} a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\\ b = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\end{cases} {a=2 1,b=2 1,
and
{ a = − 1 2 , b = − 1 2 . \begin{cases} a = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\\ b = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.\end{cases} {a=2 1,b=2 1.
The two square root of i therefor are ± 1 2 ( i + 1 ) \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(i + 1) ±2 1(i+1).
