find 2(cos 240+isin 240) ^4 (answer choices below)

1. C. -512√3+512i
2. B. 16(cos240°+i sin240°)
3. D. 3√2+3√6i, -3√2-3√6i
4. A. cos60°+i sin60°, cos180°+i sin180°, cos300°+i sin300°
5. D. 2√3(cos π/6+i sin π/6), 2√3(cos 7π/6+i sin 7π/6)
We will see that the equivalent expression is:
[tex]8*(cos(240\°) + i*sin(240\°))[/tex]
So the correct option is the first one.
We have the expression:
[2*(cos(240°) + i*sin(240°))]^4
Remember that Euler's formula says that:
[tex]e^{ix} = cos(x) + i*sin(x)[/tex]
Then we can rewrite our expression as:
[tex][2*(cos(240\°) + i*sin(240\°)]^4 = [2*e^{i*240\°}]^4[/tex]
Now we distribute the exponent:
[tex]2^4*e^{4*i*240\°} = 8*e^{i*960\°}[/tex]
Now, we need to find an angle equivalent to 960°.
Remember that the period of the trigonometric functions is 360°, then we can rewrite:
960° - 2*360° = 240°
This means that 960° is equivalent to 240°. Then we can write:
[tex]8*e^{i*960\°} = 8*e^{i*240\°} = 8*(cos(240\°) + i*sin(240\°))[/tex]
So the correct option is the first one.
