Question

The complex number z{z} is given by
z=α5βγ,z=\frac{\alpha^5 \beta^*}{\gamma},
where
α=2(cos16π+isin16π),β=cos(56π)+isin(56π),γ=2(cos34π+isin34π).\begin{align*} \alpha &= { \textstyle 2 \left( \cos \frac{1}{6} \pi + \mathrm{i} \sin \frac{1}{6} \pi \right)}, \\ \beta &= { \textstyle \cos \left( - \frac{5}{6} \pi \right) + \mathrm{i} \sin \left( - \frac{5}{6} \pi \right)}, \\ \gamma &= { \textstyle 2 \left( \cos \frac{3}{4} \pi + \mathrm{i} \sin \frac{3}{4} \pi \right)}. \end{align*}
Find z{|z|} and k,{k,} where arg(z)=kπ{\arg(z)=k\pi} and π<arg(z)<π.{-\pi < \arg(z) < \pi.}

Attempt
