OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 this is the full question

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what you picked is incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

This page has a good example http://www.ditutor.com/complex_numbers/trigonometric_form.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it d? i'm pretty sure it is but not 100%

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's the radius for choice d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3sqrt2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt18 simplifies to 3sqrt2 and if you found the modulus then you would get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which quadrant is -3-3i in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?????

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so what is the angle of this complex number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do not know

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well look at choice D and tell me what the angle is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??????????????????

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice they have -pi/4 where is that located? which quadrant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quadrant 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2? i really do not know

|dw:1406770847016:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so where is this angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quadrant 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but -3-3i is in quadrant 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it can't be that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about c?
