OpenStudy (kj4uts):

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Complex number to polar form: a + bi --> \(r[\cos\theta+i\sin\theta]\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

\(r=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\)

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Wouldn't square root 2^2+2^2 = 2 square root 2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

\(\theta=Arctan(\large\frac{b}{a})\) if a>0 \(\theta=Arctan(\large\frac{b}{a})+\pi\) if a<0

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yes, it would.

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

which is what option a. has

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yep.

OpenStudy (kj4uts):
