i am a bit stuck here.
As the title says i try to find out how to write complex numbers like for example$$ (1-i\sqrt{3})^6$$ in the normal representation$$ z = x + i*y$$
I already found out that the polar representation of complex numbers will come in handy here, but i can't make the conclusion at the moment.
How can i get from here to the polar representation? How do i get the real and imaginary part from the polar representation? If you have a hint, can you please just leave a quick post here, thanks.
Answer
The modulus of $1-i\sqrt{3}$ is $\sqrt{1+3}=2$, so you can write
$$
1-i\sqrt{3}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)
=
2(\cos(-\pi/3)+i\sin(-\pi/3))
$$
Can you compute the sixth power, now?
