Answer

$-16$

Work Step by Step

Step 1: $[8(\cos210^{\circ}+i\sin210^{\circ})][2(\cos330^{\circ}+i\sin330^{\circ}]$ Step 2: Using the product theorem, the expression becomes $8(2)[\cos(210^{\circ}+330^{\circ})+i\sin(210^{\circ}+330^{\circ})]$ Step 3: Simplifying, $16(\cos540^{\circ}+i\sin540^{\circ})$ Step 4: Since $180^{\circ}$ and $540^{\circ}$ are coterminal angles, the expression becomes $16(\cos180^{\circ}+i\sin180^{\circ})$ Step 5: We know that $\cos180^{\circ}=-1$ and $\sin180^{\circ}=0$ Step 6: Substituting these values in the expression, $16(-1+(0)i)$ Step 7: Therefore, the final answer is $-16$.
