The document discusses nth roots of unity. It states that the solutions to equations of the form zn = ±1 are the nth roots of unity. When placed on an Argand diagram, they form a regular n-sided polygon with vertices on the unit circle. It provides an example of the 5th roots of unity for the equation z5 = 1. The solutions are expressed as cis(2πk/5) for k = 0, ±1, ±2. It also shows that if ω is a root of z5 - 1 = 0, then ω2, ω3, ω4, and ω5 are also roots.
