@Ala123 Can you convert this into polar form?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you mean Trig form ?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
The form
\[re^{i \theta}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what form is that? i only learned trig form for this
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Ok, write that down

OpenStudy (ash2326):
Yeah, just remembered you can use that also
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk how to do that :|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that re^itheta ?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
You write that trigonometric form. We'll work with that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(a+i*b)²=a²-b² +i*2*a*b=-2+2i√3 compare real and imaginary, recall a,b element from R

ok 1 step at a time please -.-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know if you convert to trig form you gotta find r first
OpenStudy (anonymous):
r=√a^2+b^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in this case a^2 =-2 but what is b^2 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b=2√3i ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):
I'll help you with that
OpenStudy (ash2326):
a=-2 and \(b=2\sqrt 3\)
Don't include i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ash2326 if you put the 2√3 and you square it mean the root cancel out right ?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Yeah
\[ (2 \sqrt 3)^2= 2 \times 2 \times \sqrt 3\times \sqrt 3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh it's 7
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Is this r?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh no i mean r=root 7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
root 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):
r=root 11
OpenStudy (ash2326):
How did you get that?
\[r=\sqrt {2^2+ (2\sqrt 3)^2}=\sqrt {4+12}=4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
r=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there lol lol =.=
OpenStudy (ash2326):
ok, find the theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
theta can you just put tan inverse(b/a)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got theta=60 :D
OpenStudy (ash2326):
It's better to plot this first. If you plot this point then you'll know better what's theta?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
120 ?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Yay:D that's right, now what's the r e^(itheta form)

i only know Trig form =.= which is 4(cos120+ i sin120)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|dw:1336323036703:dw|
OpenStudy (ash2326):
I made a mistake sorry:(
Theta is not 120
Thanks @satellite73 for pointing out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ash2326 no you are right, \(\theta =120\) if you are working in degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, lol u just gave me a mini heart attack :O
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take the square root of 4, take half of 120
get
\[2(\cos(60)+i\sin(60))\] evaluate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then go half way across the circle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2cis60 and 2cis240 and idk how to turn into standard form :D
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[2(\cos60+isin60)=2(\frac{1}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})=1+\sqrt{3}i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh yeah :D
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[2(\cos 240+i \sin 240)=2(\frac{-1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})=-1-\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (mertsj):
i. I forgot the i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i'll include it thanks Mertsj
