IMPOWER(z,n)

• $z$ is the complex number is of the form $x+iy$
• $n$ is the power value.

Description

• This function gives the value of powers of complex number.
• DeMoivre's Theorem is a generalized formula to compute powers of a complex number in it's polar form.
• i'is the imaginary unit, $i={\sqrt {-1}}$
• Then the power of a complex number is defined by $(z)^{n}=(x+iy)^{n}=r^{n}*e^{in\theta }=r^{n}(cosn\theta +isinn\theta )$ where $r={\sqrt {x^{2}+y^{2}}}$. and $\theta =tan^{-}1(y/x)$, Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \theta∈(-\pi,\pi]} .
• This formula is called DeMoivre's theorem of complex numbers.
• We can use COMPLEX function to convert real and imaginary number in to a complex number.
• In IMPOWER(z,n), $n$ can be integer, fractional or negative.
• If $n$ is non-numeric, function will return error value.

Examples

1. IMPOWER("4+5i",3)=-235.99999+115i
2. IMPOWER("9-7i",4)=-14852-8063.999999i
3. IMPOWER("6",9)=10077696
4. IMPOWER("i",10)=-1+6.1257422745431E-16i
