(2((cos800+isin800))3=44i3

Explanation:

(2((cos800+isin800))3=23(cos800+isin800)3
By De-Moivre's theorem;
(cosA+isinA)n=cosnA+isinnA
=8(cos(3×800)+isin(3×800))
=8(cos2400+isin2400)
240=180+60
cos2400=cos(1800+600)
=cos600=12
sin2400=sin(1800+600)
=sin600=32
Thus,
8(cos2400+isin2400)=8×(12+i32)
=44i3

(2((cos800+isin800))3=44i3
