I used the exponential converion relationship:

Explanation:

You may remember that your complex number can be written as:
#z=rhoe^(thetai)=rho[cos(theta)+isin(theta)]#
in your case:
#z=16e^(7/6pii)=16[cos(7/6pi)+isin(7/6pi)]#
we can now evaluate the above trig functions and multiply by #16# to get to the form: #z=a+ib#:

#z=-13.8-8i#
