Recall that to plot a point in the complex plane we have to know its real part and its imaginary part.

The real part of the given number is


\sqrt[]{17}\cos 104^(\circ),

and its imaginary part is


\sqrt[]{17}\sin 104^(\circ).

Simplifying the above expressions, and rounding to the nearest integer we get that:


\begin{gathered} \operatorname{Re}(z)=-1, \\ \operatorname{Im}(z)=4. \end{gathered}

Therefore, the point has coordinates (-1,4).
