-4+i = √17 cis tan<sup><sup>-1</sup></sup>(-1/4) = 4.1231 cis 2.8966
so the 4th roots are
1.60352 cis 2.8966/3 = 1.60352 cis 0.9655 + k * 2π/3
so the 4th roots are
1.60352 cis 2.8966/3 = 1.60352 cis 0.9655 + k * 2π/3

I got
z^(1/4) = (√17)^(1/4) cis (2.8966/4)
primary root = 1.425 cis .7242
general solution:
1.425 cis (.7242 + k*π/2) where k = 0,1,2,3
(you are dividing 2π into 4 parts , not 3
you have to take the 4th root of √17, you took the third)
in degrees
1.425 cis (41.49° + k(90) ), for k = 0,1,2,3
z^(1/4) = (√17)^(1/4) cis (2.8966/4)
primary root = 1.425 cis .7242
general solution:
1.425 cis (.7242 + k*π/2) where k = 0,1,2,3
(you are dividing 2π into 4 parts , not 3
you have to take the 4th root of √17, you took the third)

I think I should have read the original question except the second line of your answer, where you are talking about the fourth root.
Sorry about the confusion.
