- So the solutions to the n'th roots of unity of the form z^n = 1 are n-gons on the unit circle. This means for an arbitrary w in the complex field z^n = w gives solutions on a circle with radius n'th root of modulus w and are 2*pi/n apart so it is also an n-gon.
Pretty fun stuff to plot around using Geogebra to give a geometric intuition how the complex numbers behave.
