WELCOME TO THE FIFTH ROOTS OF (15+15i)!

HERE'S HOW YOU FIND THEM:
- (15+15i) has length (magnitude) (15^2+15^2)^1/2
= 21.213 and an angle to the
x-axis, or modulus, of tan^-1 15/15 = 45 degrees;
- so the root circle has radius 21.213^1/5 = 1.842,
- the first root is at theta1 = 45/5 = 9 degrees,
- and the remaining roots are at theta = 9 + n*360/5 = 81,
153, 225, and 297 degrees.
