De Moivre's formula says:
(cos x + i sin x)n = cos(nx) + i sin(nx)
We need to convert 5 + 5sqrt(3)i to polar form. We have:
x = arctan(5sqrt(3)/5) = arctan(sqrt(3)) = π/3
r = sqrt(25(3) + 25) = sqrt(100) = 10
Therefore, we have:
(10(cos(π/3) + i sin(π/3)))7 = 107(cos(π/3) + i sin(π/3))7 = 107(cos(7π/3) + i sin(7π/3)) = 107(1 + i sqrt(3))/2
