\(z = r e^{i\theta}\\ z^8 = r^8 e^{i8\theta}\\ z^8 + \bar{z}^8 = r^8(e^{i8\theta}+e^{-i8\theta}) = 2r^8\cos(8\theta)\\ z = \dfrac{3+i\sqrt{3}}{2}\\ r^2 = \left(\dfrac 3 2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = 3\\ r^8 = \left(r^2\right)^4 = 81\\ \theta = \arctan\left(\dfrac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac 3 2}\right) = \\ \arctan\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right) = \dfrac \pi 6\\ 8\theta = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\\ \cos(8\theta) = -\dfrac 1 2\\ 2r^8 \cos(8\theta) = 2 \cdot 81 \cdot -\dfrac 1 2= -81\)
