Answer

$16\sqrt{2}+16\sqrt{2}i$

Work Step by Step

See p. 606, If $z=r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)$, then for any integer $n$ $z^{n}=r^{n}(\cos n\theta+i\sin n\theta)$ ----------- $z=-\sqrt{2}-i\sqrt{2}$ $\theta$ terminates in quadrant III, $\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{-\sqrt{2}}=1$ $\Rightarrow \displaystyle \theta=\frac{5\pi}{4}$, $r=\sqrt{2+2}=2$ $z=2(\displaystyle \cos\frac{5\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{5\pi}{4})$ $z^{5}=2^{5}[\displaystyle \cos(5\cdot\frac{5\pi}{4})+i\sin(5\cdot\frac{5\pi}{4})]$ $=32(\displaystyle \cos\frac{25\pi}{2}+i\sin\frac{25\pi}{2})$ With $\displaystyle \cos\frac{25\pi}{4}=\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}+6\pi)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $\displaystyle \sin\frac{25\pi}{4}=\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}+6\pi)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $z^{5}=32(\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}i)=16\sqrt{2}+16\sqrt{2}i$
