De Moivre’s theorem

From multiplication of complex numbers in polar form, (r∠θ)× (r∠θ) = r2∠2θ

Similarly, (r∠θ)×(r∠θ)×(r∠θ)=r3∠3θ , and so on. In general, de Moivre’s theorem∗ states:

[r∠θ ]n = rn∠nθ The theorem is true for all positive, negative and fractional values of n. The theorem is used to determine powers and roots of complex numbers.
