Answer:


z = 1 - √(3) i \\ {z}^(3) = (1 - √(3) i) ^(3) \\ =(1 - √(3) i)(1 - √(3) i)(1 - √(3) i) \\ open \: brackets \\ = (1 - 2 √(3) i + ( { √(3) i})^(2) )(1 - √(3) i) \\ but \: {( √(3)i) }^(2) = - 3 \: since \: {i}^(2) \: is \: - 1 \: in \: complex \: numbers \\ = (1 - 2 √(3) i - 3)(1 - √(3) i) \\ = ( - 2 - 2 √(3) i)(1 - √(3) i) \\ = ( - 2 + 2 √(3) i - 2 √(3) i + 2( { √(3) i)}^(2) ) \\ = - 2 - 6 \\ = - 8
