convert the following complex number to polar (trigonometric) form. 4+3i Please don't just give me the answer, I would like to know how to get the answer
wanna guess whats the radius
what does it have to do with radius?
|dw:1416894631607:dw|
polar coordinates need a radius
rsintheta, rcostheta
imagine its plotted real vs imaginary
I havent learn any of these. In my textbook, it tells me: z=a+bi z=r(cos # + isin #) where z = |v| = root(a^2 + b^2) and tan # = b/a
r is the radius here
r can be obtained by taking root of (a^2+b^)
so it will be 5 in your case
oh I even wrote it haha
JOKES
u hacked ur self =)
but how can i find the sin# and cos#
so getting theta should be a piece of cake too
tan theta= b/a so its tan theta=3/4 theta=36.9 deg
cmon man gr1 math u got this
=P
sorry i dont mean to be condescending do you still have a question??
dw if u didnt get it ill be happy to explain
(i realy wont be)
I think i got it
kk cool
i even wrote it
letme just confirm with you
z = a + bi tan = b/a y question is 4+3i so tan = 3/4
yes
use ur calculator now and find the angle tan^-1
arc tan 3/4 = 36.9
yes
so would the final answer be 36.9?
r sin theta should be 4 r cos theta should be 3 so by now you should realized that teacher hacked u
well i dont know how you wanna leave it
the question is just "Convert the following complex numbers to pola r (trigonometric) form.
(4,3) or 5 sin(36), 5cos(36) or 5 radius, theta=36 are all valid ways of displaying the answer
the thing is, there are like 5 of these questions and this will be on the exam tomorrow lol so it's confusing on which answer to put tomorrow
your teacher will accept the first one for sure if there is some discrepancy you can ask teacher before test what format she wants it in
this is what I'm assuming she wants it in form z=r(cos# + isin#) since that's what the textbook states as the polar form
what do u think?
yeah but if you simplify it, it just comes down to 4,3 =P
but yeah do what the textbook tells u to
maybe it's just solve for z using that form?
lol go study something else dont over think it good night get a good sleep
nop I GOT IT! i read the next page of my textbook and it's basically just writing it as z=r(cos#+isin#).
while filling in each of the things (z, r, #)
