Personally, I propose only one root, but it is not in conformity with what is said about "complex numbers". I remind you that I do not admit the definition iΒ²=-1, which, in itself, is not false, but so narrow that I do not understand its semantic interest. For me, the definition must be extended to all powers of x such that i^x=-1. In short, it is necessary to go through a constancy of i^x=-1, like 1^x=1. This defined, we easily have x^4=-81 if x=3i. The other four roots being incorrect (in the proposed system). R.H.
