Answer

(a) See the graph. (b) $z=2(cos~\frac{\pi}{3}+i~sin~\frac{\pi}{3})$ (c) $z^9=-512$

Work Step by Step

(b) $z=a+bi=1+\sqrt 3i$ $r=|z|=\sqrt {a^2+b^2}=\sqrt {1^2+(\sqrt 3)^2}=\sqrt 4=2$ $tan~θ=\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{1}=\sqrt 3$ $θ=\frac{\pi}{3}$ Polar form: $z=2(cos~\frac{\pi}{3}+i~sin~\frac{\pi}{3})$ (c) $z^n=r^n(cos~nθ+i~sin~nθ)$ $z^9=2^9[cos~(9·\frac{\pi}{3})+i~sin~(9·\frac{\pi}{3}))$ $z^9=512(cos~3\pi+i~sin~3\pi)$ $z^9=512(-1+0i)$ $z^9=-512$
