That would be written as:
[tex]z^{2} = 1[/tex]
And the step-by-step equation would be:
[tex]z^{2} = 1[/tex] → we take the 2 to the right side of the equation and do the IO*
[tex]z = \sqrt{1}[/tex] →we solve for [tex]\sqrt{1}[/tex]
[tex]z = 1[/tex] → final answer
*Ps - IO is not an existing term and stands for inverse operation. In this case, because when we take to 2 to the right side of the equation (the 2 is a power) it'll have to turn into a square root (because exponents and roots are inverse operations)
Hope it helped,
