24[ cos((5pi)/3) + isin((5pi)/3) ] 24[cos(5π3)+isin(5π3)]

Explanation:

Using color(blue) " Euler's relationship " Euler's relationship

which states re^(thetai) = r[costheta + isintheta] reθi=r[cosθ+isinθ]

here r = 24 and theta = (5pi)/3 θ=5π3

rArr 24e^((5pi)/3 i) = 24 [ cos((5pi)/3) + isin((5pi)/3) ] 24e5π3i=24[cos(5π3)+isin(5π3)]
