Answer

The power of the complex number in the rectangular form is $\frac{i}{32}$.

Work Step by Step

Here, $z={{\left[ \frac{1}{2}\left( \cos \frac{\pi }{10}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{10} \right) \right]}^{5}}$ Therefore, $\begin{align} & z={{\left[ \frac{1}{2}\left( \cos \frac{\pi }{10}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{10} \right) \right]}^{5}} \\ & z=\frac{1}{{{2}^{5}}}\left( \cos 5\times \frac{\pi }{10}+i\sin 5\times \frac{\pi }{10} \right) \\ & z=\frac{1}{32}\left( \cos \frac{\pi }{2}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{2} \right) \\ & z=\frac{1}{32}\left( 0+i \right) \\ \end{align}$ Simplify it further, to get, $z=\frac{i}{32}$ The complex number in the rectangular form is $z=\frac{i}{32}$
