Let's work through the mathematical problems based on the uploaded image. Here's a step-by-step approach for each part.

### Question 2 (a):
We need to express the complex number \( z = \frac{i(2 - 2i)}{(1 - \sqrt{3}i)^2} \) in exponential polar form.

**Step 1: Simplify the expression**
- First, simplify the numerator: 
  \[
  i(2 - 2i) = 2i + 2
  \]
  So, the numerator becomes \( 2 + 2i \).

- Now, simplify the denominator: 
  \[
  (1 - \sqrt{3}i)^2 = (1 - \sqrt{3}i)(1 - \sqrt{3}i) = 1^2 - 2(1)(\sqrt{3}i) + (\sqrt{3}i)^2
  \]
  \[
  = 1 - 2\sqrt{3}i - 3 = -2 - 2\sqrt{3}i
  \]
  Therefore, \( z = \frac{2 + 2i}{-2 - 2\sqrt{3}i} \).

**Step 2: Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate**
- To remove the imaginary part from the denominator, multiply by the conjugate \( -2 + 2\sqrt{3}i \):
  \[
  z = \frac{(2 + 2i)(-2 + 2\sqrt{3}i)}{(-2 - 2\sqrt{3}i)(-2 + 2\sqrt{3}i)}
  \]
  Simplifying this results in a complex number that we can convert into polar form.

**Step 3: Convert to polar form**
- We need to find the modulus \( r \) and argument \( \theta \) of the simplified form to express the complex number in the exponential form \( z = r e^{i\theta} \).

### Question 2 (b):
Given \( z = 5e^{i\pi/25} \), we are asked to find the modulus and the principal argument of \( z^{80} \).

**Step 1: Modulus of \( z \)**
- The modulus of \( z \) is simply the coefficient in front of the exponential, so \( |z| = 5 \).
- The modulus of \( z^{80} \) is \( |z^{80}| = |z|^{80} = 5^{80} \).

**Step 2: Principal argument**
- The argument of \( z \) is \( \frac{\pi}{25} \), so the argument of \( z^{80} \) is:
  \[
  \text{Arg}(z^{80}) = 80 \times \frac{\pi}{25} = \frac{80\pi}{25} = \frac{16\pi}{5}
  \]
  Since principal arguments are typically restricted to the interval \( (-\pi, \pi] \), we need to reduce this angle to fit within the principal range.

### Question 2 (c):
Find the Cartesian equations for the curves given by \( |z + 1 - i| = \sqrt{2} \) and \( |z - 1 + i| = \sqrt{5} \), where \( z = x + iy \) with \( x, y \in \mathbb{R} \).

- **First equation**: 
  \( |z + 1 - i| = \sqrt{2} \) means \( \sqrt{(x + 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2} = \sqrt{2} \).
  Squaring both sides, we get:
  \[
  (x + 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 2
  \]
  This represents a circle with center \( (-1, 1) \) and radius \( \sqrt{2} \).

- **Second equation**: 
  \( |z - 1 + i| = \sqrt{5} \) means \( \sqrt{(x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2} = \sqrt{5} \).
  Squaring both sides, we get:
  \[
  (x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 5
  \]
  This represents a circle with center \( (1, -1) \) and radius \( \sqrt{5} \).

### Question 2 (d):
This part asks to find the x- and y-intercepts of the two curves derived in part (c).

- For each circle equation, we substitute \( y = 0 \) for the x-intercepts and \( x = 0 \) for the y-intercepts and solve the corresponding equations.

### Tip:
When dealing with complex numbers, always remember that the modulus represents the "distance" from the origin, and the argument represents the "angle" from the positive real axis.
