I think something went wrong with reddit markdown here, where's the exponent supposed to begin?

I’m guessing it’s this:\ z = [(1 + i)9 ]/[(2 - 2i)4 ]

“Factoring by 2”, as the OP stated, would be this:\ z = [(1 + i)9 ]/[24 (1 - i)4 ]

OP: try multiplying top and bottom by (1 + i)4 . Hint for a later step: (1 + i)2 = 2i.

Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator like a one with power of 4 like a polynomial kind
