(x + iy)^1/3 = u + iv,then prove that x/u +y/v = 4(u^2 - v^2)

    (x+iy)1/3 = u+iv 

  cubing both sides

  x+iy = (u+iv)3

  = u3 +(iv)3 + 3u2 iv + 3u (iv)2

  = u3 - i v3  + 3u2 v i - 3uv2

  x+ iy = u3 -3uv2 + i (3u2 v - v3 )

  comparing real & imaginary part

  x = u3 - 3uv2  

        x  = u(u2 -3v2 )

  x/u = u2 -3v2 -----(1)

  similarly  y/v =(3u2 - v2 )  --->(2)

  adding (1)& (2)

  x/u +y/v = (u2 -3v2 )  + (3u2 - v2 )

  = 4u2 - 4v2

  x/u +y/v   =4(u2 - v2 proved
