Answer

$-4+i4\sqrt 3$

Work Step by Step

Given complex number is 8($\cos\frac{2\pi}{3}+i\sin\frac{2\pi}{3}$)....(1) $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ = $\frac{2\times 180}{3}$ = 120 We know that $\cos120^{\circ} = \frac{-1}{2}$ and $\\sin120^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ plugin these values in equation (1) we get 8($\frac{-1}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$) = 4(-1+i$\sqrt 3$) = $-4+i4\sqrt 3$ Hence the standard form is $-4+i4\sqrt 3$
