We know that there are $n$ solutions for $n^{th}$ root of unity, $z^n = 1$ :
$1, z, z^2, z^3, ......z^{n-1}$ where, $z = e^{i2\pi/n}$
Now, $$z^{n+1} = z$$ right? Since, $$z^{n+1} = z^n.z = 1.z=z $$$$.:z^{n+1}=z$$
But if I write it this way, $$ z^{n+1} =(z^n)^{(n+1)/n}=(1)^{(n+1)/n}=1$$$$.:z^{n+1}=1$$
Which one is right? And so can I write,$$z^p = (z^n)^{p/n} = 1 ?$$where $p$ is any real number
