Express the complex number in trigonometric form. 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers that i have are: 3(cos 0° + i sin 0°) 3(cos 90° + i sin 90°) 3(cos 180° + i sin 180°) 3(cos 270° + i sin 270°)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you should be aware of the values for those trig functions ... which one simplifies to your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one?

@amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3(cos0 + isin0) 3(1 + i0) = 3, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with another?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

maybe, depends on what it is :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Express the complex number in trigonometric form. 3 - 3i

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what would you suggest we try first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my idea is to first factor out the 3, what does that do for us?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(1-i)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

website is not acting nicely is it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you are correct, now, we know that the trig parts resembles cos(x)+i sin(x) so equate cos(x) to 1 nd sin(x) to -1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmmm, that seems a little off to me now that i glance at it
