Let 1+43 i=a+ib\sqrt{1+4\sqrt3\,i}=a+ib. Then a2−b2=1a^2-b^2=1, 2ab=432ab=4\sqrt3. (a2+b2)2=12+(43)2=1+48=49⇒a2+b2=7(a^2+b^2)^2=1^2+(4\sqrt3)^2=1+48=49\Rightarrow a^2+b^2=7. Adding with a2−b2=1a^2-b^2=1: 2a2=8⇒a2=4⇒a=±22a^2=8\Rightarrow a^2=4\Rightarrow a=\pm2; subtracting: 2b2=6⇒b2=3⇒b=±32b^2=6\Rightarrow b^2=3\Rightarrow b=\pm\sqrt3. Since 2ab=43>02ab=4\sqrt3>0, a,ba,b share the same sign.

✓Final answer

1+43 i=±(2+3 i)\sqrt{1+4\sqrt3\,i}=\pm(2+\sqrt3\,i).
