Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Let . Use the principal argument, in degrees, in .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Polar forms. has modulus 2 and argument ; has modulus and argument .
(a), (b) and .
(c) has argument , real when is a multiple of 180: the smallest is .
(d) has modulus and argument , so it is .
(e) Purely imaginary needs , that is : , which is 8 values.
Check. Raising to every power from 1 to 100 exactly (with sympy) finds the same , the same value and the same count.
Watch out. with grows in size, but being real or imaginary depends only on the argument.
