Post Exercise [05.14]
z=w^{1/n}=\left(re^{i\theta+2k\pi i}\right)^{1/n}=\sqrt[n]{r}\cdot e^{\frac{i\theta+2k\pi i}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{r}\cdot e^{\frac{i\theta}{n}}\cdot e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n}}=z_0\cdot e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n}}

All n solutions to the equation will be given by z_0\cdot e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n}} for k=0,...,n-1.

P.S.: Missing \frac1n corrected. Thanks to vasco for noticing.

Hi ZZR
Just a small correction to your solution, which I'm sure was just a typing error. The penultimate expression is missing a division by n in the exponent. So it should be:

z=w^{1/n}=\left(re^{i\theta+2k\pi i}\right)^{1/n}=\sqrt[n]{r}\cdot e^{\frac{i\theta+2k\pi i}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{r}\cdot e^{\frac{i\theta}{n}}\cdot e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n}}=z_0\cdot e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n}}

All n solutions to the equation will be given by z_0\cdot e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n}} for k=0,...,n-1.
