What is the rectangular form of (4, 90º)? Please help ):!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one way is to draw this on a coordinate plane. have you tried that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I have but I don't know how to put it in a rectangular form ):

hartnn (hartnn):

or simply you can use the formulas, (4, 90) ---> (r, theta) r=4 theta = 90 x= r cos theta = 4 cos 90 =....? y= r sin theta = 4 sin 90 =... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rectangular form is another way of representing the same number using i or j in some applications

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=0 y=4, 0+4i?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes! j4 or i4, whatever u call...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by drawing stuff you see the angle it makes with the x and y axis, then you can move to formulas, but for things that have 90 degree and multiples of it is easier to visualize if you draw it.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Rectangular form is an (x, y) pair.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YESSS! <3 Thank you very much (:

hartnn (hartnn):

(x,y) = (0,4)

hartnn (hartnn):
