Correct answer: NONE OF THE OPTIONS; THE EXPRESSION EVALUATES TO $-32768I$

  1. We need to compute
(−1+i31−i)30.\left(\frac{-1+i\sqrt{3}}{1-i}\right)^{30}.(1−i−1+i3​​)30.
  1. First, write numerator and denominator in polar form.

Numerator: −1+i3-1+i\sqrt{3}−1+i3​

Its modulus is

(−1)2+(3)2=1+3=2.\sqrt{(-1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1+3}=2.(−1)2+(3​)2​=1+3​=2.

Its argument lies in the second quadrant, and

tan⁡θ=3−1=−3.\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{-1}=-\sqrt{3}.tanθ=−13​​=−3​.

So the principal argument is

θ=2π3.\theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}.θ=32π​.

Hence,

−1+i3=2(cos⁡2π3+isin⁡2π3).-1+i\sqrt{3} = 2\left(\cos\frac{2\pi}{3}+i\sin\frac{2\pi}{3}\right).−1+i3​=2(cos32π​+isin32π​).

Denominator: 1−i1-i1−i

Its modulus is

12+(−1)2=2.\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}=\sqrt{2}.12+(−1)2​=2​.

Its argument is

−π4.-\frac{\pi}{4}.−4π​.

Thus,

1−i=2(cos⁡(−π4)+isin⁡(−π4)).1-i = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+i\sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right).1−i=2​(cos(−4π​)+isin(−4π​)).
  1. Now divide the two complex numbers.

The modulus becomes

22=2.\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}.2​2​=2​.

The argument becomes

\frac{2\pi}{3}-\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\frac{2\pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{4}= rac{8\pi+3\pi}{12}= rac{11\pi}{12}.

So,

−1+i31−i=2(cos⁡11π12+isin⁡11π12).\frac{-1+i\sqrt{3}}{1-i}=\sqrt{2}\left(\cos\frac{11\pi}{12}+i\sin\frac{11\pi}{12}\right).1−i−1+i3​​=2​(cos1211π​+isin1211π​).
  1. Raise to the 30th power using De Moivre's theorem:
(2)30(cos⁡11π12+isin⁡11π12)30=215(cos⁡55π2+isin⁡55π2).\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{30}\left(\cos\frac{11\pi}{12}+i\sin\frac{11\pi}{12}\right)^{30} =2^{15}\left(\cos\frac{55\pi}{2}+i\sin\frac{55\pi}{2}\right).(2​)30(cos1211π​+isin1211π​)30=215(cos255π​+isin255π​).

Since

215=32768,2^{15}=32768,215=32768,

and

55π2=27π+π2,\frac{55\pi}{2}=27\pi+\frac{\pi}{2},255π​=27π+2π​,

we get

cos⁡(27π+π2)=0,sin⁡(27π+π2)=−1.\cos\left(27\pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0, \qquad \sin\left(27\pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=-1.cos(27π+2π​)=0,sin(27π+2π​)=−1.

Therefore,

215(0−i)=−32768i.2^{15}\left(0-i\right)=-32768i.215(0−i)=−32768i.
  1. So the value is
−32768i.\boxed{-32768i}.−32768i​.
  1. Compare with options:
  • A: −215i-215i−215i
  • B: −215-215−215
  • C: 215i215i215i
  • D: 656565

None of the options match −32768i-32768i−32768i. So the stored correct answer A is incorrect.
