It's about powers of complex numbers and I needed the solution for this problem as an example. Answers should be in 1. Trigo Form and 2. Rectangular Form. The final answer should be in its "simplest" form. Thanks! :p

z = r angle θ
r² = 8 + 9
r = √17
r^(8) = 83521
θ = tan^(-1) (3 / (2√2)
θ = tan^(-1) (3√2 / 2)
θ = 64.8°
z = √17 (cos θ + i sin θ)
z^8 = 83521 (cos 8θ + i sin 8θ)
8θ = 518°
z^8 = 83521 angle 518°
z^8 = - 77439 + i 31288

well, it is
[sqrt(17) *(2 sqrt(2)/sqrt(17) + 3 i/sqrt(17))]^8

Now let Theta be cos^(-1) [2 sqrt(2)/sqrt(17)]
then the expression is
[sqrt(17) ( cos(theta) + i sin(theta))^8
= [sqrt(17) (e^(i * theta))]^8
= 17^4 e^(i * 8 theta)
= 17^4 [cos(8 theta) + i cos(8 theta)]

Hope this helps.
