#e^((7pi)/4 i) -e^((11pi)/6 i) = -0.159-0.207i#

Explanation:

#e^(itheta) = cos theta +i sin theta#

#e^((7pi)/4 i) = cos ((7pi)/4)+isin((7pi)/4)#

#e^((11pi)/6 i) = cos ((11pi)/6)+isin((11pi)/6)#

#e^((7pi)/4 i) -e^((11pi)/6 i) =[cos ((7pi)/4)+isin((7pi)/4)]-[cos ((11pi)/6)+isin((11pi)/6)]#

#e^((7pi)/4 i) -e^((11pi)/6 i) =[cos ((7pi)/4)-cos ((11pi)/6)]+i[sin((7pi)/4)-sin((11pi)/6)]#

#e^((7pi)/4 i) -e^((11pi)/6 i) = -0.159-0.207i#
