$81/2(1+isqrt3)$ .

De Moivre's Theorem states that,

${r(costheta+isintheta)}^n=r^n(cosntheta+isinntheta)$ .

$:. {3(cos15^@+isin15^@)}^4$ ,

$=3^4{cos(4xx15^@)+isin(4xx15^@)}$ ,

$=81(cos60^@+isin60^@)$ ,

$=81(1/2+isqrt3/2)$ ,

$=81/2(1+isqrt3)$ .

How do you use DeMoivre's Theorem to simplify (3(cos15+isin15))^4(3(cos15+isin15))^4?
