I cant help you here so. I tried :)

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Same here I can't figure it out either so far. Thanks for helping me with the others :)

For a complex number x+yi to convert to polar r=sqrt (x^2+y^2) θ=arctan (y/x) r (cosθ+isinθ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 deg = pi

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

the answer looks like its c.

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

z=−4i z=4⋅(cos 270+i⋅sin 270) 3pi/2 = 270 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thea is not a 270

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(pi), sin(pi)

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

@Austin6i6 would the answer be d.-4(cos0+i sin0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, i believe it is A. based on the unit circle
