Exercise · ZW-DE-MOIVRE-FORMULA-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \(\left(\cos\frac\pi6+i\sin\frac\pi6\right)^6\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(-1\)
Explanation
The modulus is 1 and the argument is multiplied by 6: \(\cos\pi+i\sin\pi=-1\).
Review the concept: De Moivre's formula
De Moivre's formula gives the integer power \(n\) of a complex number \(z\) of modulus \(r\) and argument \(\theta\): it raises the modulus to the \(n\)-th power and multiplies the argument by \(n\).
\[z^n=r^n\left(\cos n\theta+i\sin n\theta\right)\]
