Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

[√2(cos(3π/4) + i sin(3π/4))]⁴

(√2)⁴ (cos(3π/4) + i sin(3π/4))⁴

4 (cos(3π/4) + i sin(3π/4))⁴

Using De Moivre's Theorem:

4 (cos(4 × 3π/4) + i sin(4 × 3π/4))

4 (cos(3π) + i sin(3π))

3π on the unit circle is the same as π:

4 (cos(π) + i sin(π))

4 (-1 + i (0))

-4
