∣z∣=1    z^n =∣z∣^2 =1  z^n =1=cos (2kπ)+isin (2kπ)  ⇒ z=cos (((2kπ)/n))+isin (((2kπ)/n))                            where k∈Z .

$$\mid{z}\mid=\mathrm{1}\: \\ $$$$\:{z}^{{n}} =\mid{z}\mid^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${z}^{{n}} =\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{2}{k}\pi\right)+{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{2}{k}\pi\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{z}=\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}{k}\pi}{{n}}\right)+{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}{k}\pi}{{n}}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{where}\:{k}\in\mathbb{Z}\:. \\ $$
