\nNote that for a complex number $z=a+bi$ we have:
\n$z\\overline{z}=|z|^2=a^2+b^2$.
\nBut since $\\var{conj(z1)}=\\overline{\\var{z1}}$ we have:
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*}z&=&(\\var{z1})^{\\var{c1}}(\\var{conj(z1)})^{\\var{c1}}\\\\ &=&((\\var{z1})(\\var{conj(z1)}))^{\\var{c1}}\\\\ &=&\\simplify[]{({re(z1)}^2+{im(z1)}^2)^{c1}}\\\\ &=&\\var{(re(z1)^2+im(z1)^2)^c1} \\end{eqnarray*}\\]

\nNote that $(\\var{z2})^4=((\\var{z2})^2)^2$.
\nSince $(\\var{z2})^2=\\simplify[std]{{z2^2}}$ we have:
\\[(\\var{z2})^4=(\\simplify[std]{{z2^2}})^2=\\simplify[std]{{z2^4}}\\]

We have
\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} z&=&(\\var{z3})^{\\var{-d1}}\\\\ &=&\\frac{1}{(\\var{z3})^{\\var{d1}}}\\\\ &=&\\frac{(\\var{conj(z3)})^{\\var{d1}}}{(\\var{z3})^{\\var{d1}}(\\var{conj(z3)})^{\\var{d1}}}\\\\ &=&\\frac{\\var{conj(z3)^d1}}{\\var{abs(z3)^(2*d1)}}\\\\ &=&\\simplify[std]{{re(conj(z3^d1))}/{(abs(z3)^(2*d1))}+({im(conj(z3^d1))}/{round(abs(z3)^(2*d1))})*i} \\end{eqnarray*}\\]
d)
We have $i^2=-1,\\;\\;i^3=-i,\\;\\;i^4=1$.
So if $n=4m+r,\\;\\;0\\le r\\le 3$ we have \\[i^n=i^{4m+r}=(i^4)^m \\times i^r=i^r\\]
Hence since $\\var{n}=4\\times\\var{m}+\\var{rem}$ we have:
\\[i^{\\var{n}}=i^{\\var{rem}}=\\simplify{{i^rem}}\\]
\\[z=(\\var{z2})^4\\]
