6. (-1 +I)^6

Solution:

First express (-1+I) in the modulus and amplitude form.
Let -1+I= r (cos(theta)+isin(theta)). Equating real and imaginary parts, we get

Rcos(theta)= -1 , rsin(theta) = 1

Therefore, r = sqrt((-1)^2+ (1)^2)

R= sqrt(1+1) => sqrt(2)

Hence, cos(theta) = -1/sqrt(2)

Sin(theta)= 1/sqrt(2)

 theta = 45 degrees.

-1 +I = sqrt(2) { cos(-45) + isin(45)} [ cos(-theta) = cos(theta)]

So, -1+I = sqrt(2) { cos(45)+isin(45)}

Here we need to find (-1+I)^6

(-1+I)^6 = [sqrt(2)]^6 {cos(45) +isin(45)}^6 [ 45 degrees = pi/4]

(-1+I)^6 = 8 { cos6(pi/4) +isin6(pi/4)}

(-1+I)^6 = 8 { cos(3pi/2) +isin(3pi/2)}

That's it.
