I am currently prepping for next year's math course. Currently, I am practicing complex numbers and I have come across something I don't understand.
The problem is how to write the following complex number in rectangular form: $(1+i)^{13}$
I know the argument(z) is $\dfrac{(13 \cdot \pi)}{4}$
but when trying to find modulus, the solution says it is $\sqrt{2}^{13}$. I follow this so far but I don't get what the rule is for the next step, which is $2^6 \cdot \sqrt(2)$. What is happening here?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Hint: $x^{13}=x^{12} x = (x^2)^6 x$
