Complex Numbers and Exponents

[KidViciou$]

I'm trying to find a formula that will allow me to program the exponentiation of complex numbers of the form:

(a + bi)^n


i'm searching on the net, but am unable to find anything, it's mainly polar formulas i'm finding.

just multiply it out. If your exponent is large, then you need to use the ugly polar stuff.

yea, i figured that out after posting it, i don't knwo what's wrong with me, i'm feeling a combo of sleepy and drunk

i feel like i'm in a daze

don't worry, on my vlsi final, i couldn't solve for 2 equations and two unknowns.....atleast your problem was less retarded.
