Work Step by Step

Using de Moivre's theorem ($z^{n}=r^{n} cis \,n\theta$ where $z=r\, cis\,\theta$ and $n$ is an integer), we get $(cis\,18^{\circ})^{10}=[1(\cos 18^{\circ}+i\sin 18^{\circ})]^{10}$ $=(1)^{10}(\cos 10\cdot18^{\circ}+i\sin 10\cdot18^{\circ})$ $=\cos 180^{\circ}+i\sin180^{\circ}$ In standard form, our result is $=-1+i\cdot0$ $=-1$
