[DabbisH]

Hello, first of all lovely forums you have here. I would love to get some help with this task please.

Task:

In this exercise is z = -2 + 2i√3.

a) Find the polar coordinates of z.
b) Find z^22 and enter the number of the form a + ibThank you,

Greetings

polar form of a complex number is

$$z=re^{i \theta}$$

so you have to convert your number in this form. To do it, use Euler's formula
