answer this please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-4 -4\sqrt{3}i \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you try it on the calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4-6.9 i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats as simplified as it gets :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

express it in trigonometric form :((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

youve gotta answer somethin first lol @ilikephysics2

hartnn (hartnn):

x+iy = r cos theta + i r.sin theta.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't relate with you because we haven't taken that during our discussion :((

hartnn (hartnn):

so u have x and y r= \(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\) \(\huge\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8cis240degrees

hartnn (hartnn):

do u know how to find magnitude of complex numbers ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no:((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain it ? :)

hartnn (hartnn):

magnitude of x+iy is \(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\) and magnitude of r cos theta + i r.sin theta is r.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i found the value of r which is 8 and what will i do next??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theta is 60 , what to do next?

hartnn (hartnn):

u write it in the form of r (cos theta + i sin theta).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how will i arrive in the answer 8cis240degrees??

hartnn (hartnn):

u have the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.. but i don't know how will i arrive in that answer..

hartnn (hartnn):

8cis240degrees is certainly not the answer......

hartnn (hartnn):

what actual answer u have ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what the higher year gave to me, but he didn't show me how to solve it and that's why im asking this.. the possible answers are: a. 8cis120 b. 8cis240 c. 8cis150 d. 8cis300

hartnn (hartnn):

so the question was to find REAL PART of that ??

hartnn (hartnn):

and thhat is COS not CIS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is this: express -4-4(square root of)3 i in trigonometric form.. i guess the letter "i" means it is imaginary and that is why it is written CIS?? but i just guess that..

hartnn (hartnn):

u got 8, right?...now u calculated theta as tan inverse of root 3, right ? u got 60. but, tan inverse of root 3 is also 240 so 8cos240

hartnn (hartnn):

may be its the short of 8(cos 240 + i sin 240)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know :)) but thank you for the answer :))

hartnn (hartnn):

remember those conversion formulas.........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i will :))
