Convert complex number to trigonometric form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ (\tan 1 - {\rm i})^4 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far i get: if \[z = \tan 1 - {\rm i}\] then \[ |z| = \sqrt{\tan^21 + 1} \] and from \[ \tan^2 x + 1 = \frac{1}{\cos^2 x} \] I get that \[ |z| = \frac{1}{\cos 1} \] therefore \[ \cos \varphi = \frac{\tan 1}{\frac{1}{\cos 1}} \] \[ \cos \varphi = \sin 1 \] and \[ \sin \varphi = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\cos 1}} \] \[ \sin \varphi = - \cos 1 \] But now I don't know how to continue.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|z|=1/cos1 =sec 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will not you answer terminate here itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I just solve that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i write here the whole solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hw did you proceed the first step!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|z|=sqrt(tan1 -1) is this step correct??????
