Math Problem Statement
Determine the algebraic form of the following complex numbers: z1 = (2 + 2i)^6 and z2 = ((1 + i√3) / (1 - i))^20.
Solution
To determine the algebraic form of the complex numbers and , we can approach each problem by using polar form and De Moivre's theorem.
Solution for :
-
Convert to polar form:
- Find the modulus of :
- Find the argument :
- Therefore, in polar form:
-
Apply De Moivre's theorem:
- Since , we raise both the modulus and the argument to the power of 6:
- Calculate :
- Simplify the argument :
- Since and :
Thus, .
Solution for :
- Simplify :
- To simplify, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, :
- Calculate the denominator:
- Expand the numerator: [ (1 + i \sqrt{3})(1 + i) = 1 + i + i \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} = (1 - \sqrt{3}) + i (1 + \sqrt{3}) \
