    How to simplify this complex expression?

    Yes the mistake is in the exponent##(e^{3i\pi}+e^{\frac{\pi}{3}})##. It's ##(e^{3i\pi}+e^{\frac{i\pi}{3}})##. I just plugged ##\sqrt[3\,]{e^{\frac {2i\pi}{3}}} +\sqrt[3\,]{-\sqrt 3 e^{i\pi/6}}= 3^{1/6} e^{-5i\pi/18}+e^{\frac {4i\pi}{18}}## into ##\sqrt[3\,]...

    How to simplify this complex expression?

    My attempt : multiplying numerator and denominator by ## (-1)^{2/9} + (-3/2 - \frac{i}{2} \sqrt{3})^{(1/3)} wehave \frac{(-1)^{4/9} +2(-1)^{2/9}(-3/2 - \frac{i}{2} \sqrt{3})^{(1/3)}+ (-3/2 - \frac{i}{2} \sqrt{3})^{(2/3)}}{(-1)^{4/9}+ (-3/2 - \frac{i}{2} \sqrt{3})^{(2/3)}} ##

    How to simplify this complex expression?

    I don't know how to start with the factorization. $$\frac{(-1)^{2/9} + (-3/2 - \frac{i}{2} \sqrt{3})^{(1/3)}}{(-1)^{2/9}- (-3/2 - \frac{i}{2} \sqrt{3})^{(1/3)}}$$ Any hints would be nice. Thank you.
