I'm not sure how to draw the following number in the complex plane:
$$z_1 = 2e^{({\pi\over6}i -1)}$$
My guess would be that you seperate the exponents:
$$z_1 = 2e^{({\pi\over6}i)} e^{-1}$$
To get:
$$z_1 = \frac{\sqrt 3}{e} + \frac{1}{e}i$$
So $ \operatorname{Re}(z_1) =\frac{\sqrt 3}{e}$ and $ \operatorname{Im}(z_1) =\frac{1}{e}$.
Is this correct? This is part of a previous exam question, but my teacher doesn't provide any answers.
This is correct. You get the complex number $z$ with modulus $\frac2e$ and argument $\frac{\pi}6$.
