Find all of the roots of unity, Zn, in the case that (Zn)^6=1

Here we use the complex exponential form of 1 which is e^(i 2n pi). Applying the sixth root and substituting in for integer values of n gives all roots in complex exponential form.These can be converted into a complex number of the form a +ib by using e^ix = cosx +isinx
