Question
Hi Sherman!
I came across this problem when I was looking through this book. How do you find the sqrt of a+bi(My parents and friends do not understand it either)? Thanks for your time!

basically
a + bi = (a + bi)^2 = a^2 + 2abi + b^2i^2 or a^2 - b^2 + 2abi
(a^2 - b^2) + (2abi)
a^2 - b^2 = A
2ab = B
In my case, A = whole number, B = coefficient of imaginary number.
