Well, first just the 8th roots of unity -- I think I can handle finding the primitive ones. Basically, I need someone to verify for me that (-1/sqrt(2)-i/sqrt(2))^8 equals 1. Then I'll be all happy. Well, all happy except for the final question, which requires reading and actually understanding the bit about finite subgroups and inifinite groups.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And Arrested Development had a line this week that totally made up for last week's off-ness.
Analrapist? Or am I being 12 again?
You can't find the primitive 8th roots of unity without love, right?
What would you people do for humor without me? Where would you get your mathematical straight lines?
Or am I being 12 again?
Oh, that too. But I was thinking of Hey, that's the name of the show!
Where would you get your mathematical straight lines?
On the street.
On the street.
First one's free!

From the domesticated mathematician I keep in a cage on the couch at home.
How gullible are you? [link]
And no, it's not some trick, where clicking on the link proves you're gullible.
Uh-huh. But accepting their definition of "free thinker" might.
How gullible are you?
Some of those answers seem rather tinfoil hatty.
X-posty, naturally.
I am a free-thinker according to the gullibility index. It says I would have eaten the red pill if I were in the Matrix.
Morpheus, my man.
