This is: 1) Identical to the question you asked previously. 2) Looks like it's taken directly from a graded assignment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess it was not clear the first time, do you have a specific question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your job now is only to evaluate \[32(\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}+i\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}))\] which comes down to evaluating \[\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})\] and \[\sin(\frac{\pi}{2})\] and multipling the result by 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it the first time, the problem is that the website where im doing the homework keeps telling me that the answer is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well cosine of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)=0 and \(\sin(\frac{\pi}{2})=1\) so you should get 32i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so 32 is the imaginary?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is \[32(0+i)=32i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 0.279 is the real number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no real part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not sure where you are getting the numbers from \[\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})=0,\sin(\frac{\pi}{2})=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have \[2^5(\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})+i\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}))=32(0+i)=32i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you are using a calculator to evaluate (looks like it) make sure to put it in "radian" mode and then use exact (not decimal) numbers for your input

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats why i was getting it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i have a 30' in an equation , what does that mean?radians?
