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

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

use the same formula here x= 3 y= -3

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

3sqrt2?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

okay so then tan^-1(-3) would be negative so 180?

hartnn (hartnn):

use calculator or google to calculate that

hartnn (hartnn):

and its tan^-1 (y/x) = tan^-1 (-3/3) = tan^-1 (-1)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

=-71 so it would sitll be 180

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

jk -45

hartnn (hartnn):

we use 0,180 or 360, only when the angle is 0

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

.-. i hate calculus

hartnn (hartnn):

yep, -45 or +135 so whats the trigonometric form ?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

idk.... google seems to hate me at the moment and is only giving me pictures of a whiteboard with a man standing in front of it who looks like hes constipated soooooo yeah c:

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

seriously though.....

hartnn (hartnn):

lol put it in the form \(\large r (\cos \theta +i\sin \theta )\)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

o.o yeah.... not happening

hartnn (hartnn):

\(3 \sqrt 2 (\cos 135 +i\sin 135)\) thats it!

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

wrong .-. its not an answer and i found an even better picture....

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

3 - 3i three times the quantity cosine of five pi divided by four plus i times sine of five pi divided by four three square root two times the quantity cosine of seven pi divided by four plus i times sine of seven pi divided by four three times the quantity cosine of seven pi divided by four plus i times sine of seven pi divided by four three square root two times the quantity cosine of five pi divided by four plus i times sine of five pi divided by four

hartnn (hartnn):

oh, so we halready have 3 sqrt 2 they just need the angle in radians
