|z| =

theta = 225 degrees = 5pi/4

According to deMoivre's Theorem,

|z^6| =
theta = 6*5pi/4 = 30pi/4 = 15pi/2 = 3pi/2

So

Let z = -2 - 2i. Use DeMoivre’s Theorem to find z6.
---------
z = -2 - 2i.
---
z = sqrt(2^2 + 2^2)cis(225) = 2sqrt(2)cis(225)
---
z^6 = 64*8cis(1350)
z^6 = 512cis(270)
z^6 = 512(cos(270) + isin(270))
z^6 = -512i
