No.  There are TWO separate and distinct answers.

The square root of -1 is essentially the root of a polynomial
equation:

x^2 + 1 = 0

According to the fundamental theorem of algebra:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_algebra

Every polynomial of degree N has N roots.  This equation
is degree 2 and therefor has two roots:

i, -i

Similarly, every cube root has THREE answers.  So
what are the three cube roots of -1 ?

Write a formula that will express the N N-th roots
of -1.
