Consider the equation z^{11} = (1 + \sqrt{3}\, i). Find the value of z which satisfies this equation and which has the second smallest positive argument \theta, 0 < \theta < 2\pi. Express your answer as z = r e^{i \theta} where
r = and \theta =
r = and \theta =

Assuming "z" is a complex number:
z11 = |z|11 (cos 11θ + i sin 11θ)
Base on the conditions:
cos 11θ + i sin θ = 1 + i√3
Therefore:
cos 11θ = 1
θ = 0.
If θ = 0, then sin 11θ = 1 which is not √3.
