#color(maroon)(=> -0.1173 - 0.0579 i #, III Quadrant.

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

#e^(((5pi)/3) i )= cos ((5pi)/3) + i sin ((5pi)/3)#

#~~> 0.5 - 0.866 i#, IV Quadrant

#e^(((13pi)/8)i) = cos ((13pi)/8) + i sin ((13pi)/8)#

#=> 0.3827 - 0.9239 i#, IV Quadrant.

#e^(((pi)/12)i) - e^(((pi)/8)i) = -0.3827 - 0.9239 i - 0.5 + 0.866 i #

#color(chocolate)(=> -0.1173 - 0.0579 i #, III Quadrant.
