$\Rightarrow 13.8585 + 5.7403 i$ $color(maroon)(=> 13.8585 + 5.7403 i$

Trigonometric form of $e^{i x}$ $e^ (ix)$ , using Euler's Equation, is given by

$e^{i x} = cos x + i sin x$ $e^ (ix) = cos x + i sin x$

$z = | z | e^{i x} = | z | \cdot (cos θ + i sin θ)$ $z = |z| e^(i x) = |z| * (cos theta + i sin theta)$

$15 e^{\frac{π}{8} i} = 15 \cdot (cos (\frac{π}{8}) + i sin (\frac{π}{8}))$ $15 e^((pi)/8i) = 15 * ( cos(pi/8) + i sin(pi/8))$

$\Rightarrow 15 (0.9239 + i 0.3827)$ $=> 15 (0.9239 + i 0.3827)$

$\Rightarrow 13.8585 + 5.7403 i$ $color(maroon)(=> 13.8585 + 5.7403 i$
