First convert your z=3+i into polar form by taking its absolute value and argument.
Recall that |z|=(3)3+12=2.
And that arg(z)=arctan(13)=π6
z=2cis(π6).
By de Moivre's theorem, zn=rncis(nθ).
z2=4cis(π3).
Converting back into Cartesian form, we have x=rcos(θ)and y=rsin(θ)
x=4cos(π3)and y=4sin(π3).
z2=2+23i.
2z2=4+43i.
