------------
Convert to trig form:
r = sqrt((sqrt3)^2+1^2) = 2
theta = tan^-1(1/sqrt3)= 30 degrees
------------
[2cis(30)]^9 = (2^9)cis(270)
------------
Convert back to complex form:
= 512(cos(270)+isin(270)
=512(0 + i (-1))
= -512i

Start with the given expression

Replace

and

with

and

. Then place a 2 outside the parenthesis. Notice how the 2 on the outside will distribute back to

. In other words,
Notice how

and

.

Now replace

with

and replace

with

.
Now use De Moivre's Thereom to expand. Remember, De Moivre's Thereom states:

Expand using De Moivre's Thereom

Simplify

Now evaluate

and

Distribute
So the answer is now in

form where

and
So
