2009 HSC - Square Roots of Complex Numbers

In the 2009 HSC, a question was asked requiring students to find the square roots of a complex number, and to then use this result in solving a quadratic equation.
Remember, for the quadratic, because the coefficients are not real, then the roots do not occur as complex conjugate pairs.
