z  = 8*I
$$z^{3} = 8 i$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$z^{3} = 8 i$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 3 - does not contain even numbers in the numerator, then
the equation has single real root.
Get the root 3-th degree of the equation sides:
We get:
$$\sqrt[3]{z^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{8 i}$$
or
$$z = 2 \sqrt[3]{i}$$
Expand brackets in the right part
z = 2*i^1/3

We get the answer: z = 2*i^(1/3)

All other 3 root(s) is the complex numbers.
do replacement:
$$w = z$$
then the equation will be the:
$$w^{3} = 8 i$$
Any complex number can presented so:
$$w = r e^{i p}$$
substitute to the equation
$$r^{3} e^{3 i p} = 8 i$$
where
$$r = 2$$
- the magnitude of the complex number
Substitute r:
$$e^{3 i p} = i$$
Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p
$$i \sin{\left(3 p \right)} + \cos{\left(3 p \right)} = i$$
so
$$\cos{\left(3 p \right)} = 0$$
and
$$\sin{\left(3 p \right)} = 1$$
then
$$p = \frac{2 \pi N}{3} + \frac{\pi}{6}$$
where N=0,1,2,3,...
Looping through the values of N and substituting p into the formula for w
Consequently, the solution will be for w:
$$w_{1} = - 2 i$$
$$w_{2} = - \sqrt{3} + i$$
$$w_{3} = \sqrt{3} + i$$
do backward replacement
$$w = z$$
$$z = w$$

The final answer:
$$z_{1} = - 2 i$$
$$z_{2} = - \sqrt{3} + i$$
$$z_{3} = \sqrt{3} + i$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced cubic equation
$$p z^{2} + q z + v + z^{3} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 0$$
$$v = \frac{d}{a}$$
$$v = - 8 i$$
Vieta Formulas
$$z_{1} + z_{2} + z_{3} = - p$$
$$z_{1} z_{2} + z_{1} z_{3} + z_{2} z_{3} = q$$
$$z_{1} z_{2} z_{3} = v$$
$$z_{1} + z_{2} + z_{3} = 0$$
$$z_{1} z_{2} + z_{1} z_{3} + z_{2} z_{3} = 0$$
$$z_{1} z_{2} z_{3} = - 8 i$$
