Write <em>z</em> in polar form:
<em>z</em> = 1 + √3 <em>i</em> = 2 exp(<em>i</em> <em>π</em>/3)
Taking the square root gives two possible complex numbers,
√<em>z</em> = √2 exp(<em>i</em> (<em>π</em>/3 + 2<em>kπ</em>)/2)
with <em>k</em> = 0 and <em>k</em> = 1, so that
√<em>z</em> = √2 exp(<em>i</em> <em>π</em>/6) = √(3/2) + √(1/2) <em>i</em>
and
√<em>z</em> = √2 exp(<em>i</em> 7<em>π</em>/6) = -√(3/2) - √(1/2) <em>i</em>
We know b = sum of the two roots
= -4 + 2
= -2
therefore b = -2
