Turn this into Trig form: -5+4i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I suppose you mean this by trig form : r(cos(t)+i sin(t)) where r is the absolute value of the complex number and t is the angle. So you need to compute r and t.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to find them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that's the trig form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is r= sqrt 41 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuz it is sqrt a^2+b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that's right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for t i use tan theta = b/a so it's 4/-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theta = -38.69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t = -38.69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure if the negative nessesary ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's not entirely correct, you're looking for this angle:|dw:1334707073778:dw|
