Complex Numbers and Their Properties

The video tutorial guides viewers through the process of calculating the fourth power of a complex number, z = -1 + i√3, in both polar and rectangular forms. It begins by determining the modulus and argument of z, then expresses z in polar form. The tutorial continues by calculating z squared, z cubed, and finally z to the fourth power, explaining each step in detail. The video concludes by converting the result back into rectangular form, providing a comprehensive understanding of complex number operations.
