Answer

($-2+i2\sqrt 3$)

Work Step by Step

Given Complex number is 4($\cos\frac{2\pi}{3}+i\sin\frac{2\pi}{3}$) .........(1) $\frac{2\pi}{3} = 2\times\frac{180}{3}$ $\frac{2\pi}{3} = 120$ we know that $\cos 120^{\circ}= \frac{-1}{2}$ and $\sin 120^{\circ}= \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ Substitute these values in equation (1) we get 4($\frac{-1}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$) = ($\frac{-4}{2}+i\frac{4\sqrt 3}{2}$) =($-2+i2\sqrt 3$) Hence the standard form is ($-2+i2\sqrt 3$)
