Answer

$\color{blue}{{\bf a.} -3 + 3i\sqrt{3}}$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{align*} 6\, \text{cis}\, \frac{2\pi}{3} &= 6\left(\cos\frac{2\pi}{3} + i\sin\frac{2\pi}{3} \right) \\ &= 6\left(-\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i\right) \\ &= -\frac{6}{2} + \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{2}i \\ &= -3 + (3\sqrt{3})i \\ \color{blue}{6\, \text{cis}\, \frac{2\pi}{3}}\ &\color{blue}{= -3 + 3i\sqrt{3} \qquad\text{Choice}\ {\bf a.}} \end{align*}$
