re-write in a+bi form

OpenStudy (babynini):

10(sq2)cis(7pi/4)

OpenStudy (babynini):

@perl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cis ???

OpenStudy (babynini):

cos i sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know cos i sin is equevelent of cot

OpenStudy (babynini):

haha this is a little different. the equation is 10(sq2)(cos(7pi/4)+isin(7pi/4)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm 10\sqrt2\left[cis\left(\frac{7\pi}{4}\right)\right]\]What's up? 0_o we gotta turn this into a and b stuff?

OpenStudy (babynini):

yeep

OpenStudy (babynini):

So i guess multiply it in?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

get your "special values" before you multiply it in

OpenStudy (babynini):

so its \[10\sqrt{2}(\frac{ -\sqrt{2} }{ 2 }+i \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ 2 })\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

hmm those looks backwards... we're in quadrant 4, ya? so cosine is positive, sine negative.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

what's going on with your profile picture? 0_o too many legs and creepy things.. not enough light bulbs.

OpenStudy (babynini):

it's a Mexican walking fish!!

OpenStudy (babynini):

err not quite because it's coming from a whole other problem. I shall give you the link.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

so you're on the division step, or what? :o

zepdrix (zepdrix):

oh this must be the multiplication

OpenStudy (babynini):

I'm on the final step. So i got the answers but now it's asking me to put the results in form a+bi

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Uhhh, ya your multiplication looks good :) Hmm I still think you're getting the `signs` backwards though.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

|dw:1432268420139:dw|

zepdrix (zepdrix):

cosine positive, sine negative, ya?

OpenStudy (babynini):

oos, yeah I am. Sowriee

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[10\sqrt{2}[(\sqrt{2}/2)+i(-\sqrt{2}/2)]\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

cool :) then multiply in the stuff

OpenStudy (babynini):

em..that's my issue xD

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Umm this might help to remember:\[\Large\rm \frac{\sqrt2}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\]If you "un-rationalize it" it looks like that. Maybe that will be easier to work with.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So this is our probelm:\[\Large\rm 10\sqrt2\left[\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\mathcal i\right]\]wtf is up with these brackets? they're not formatting correctly :(

OpenStudy (babynini):

they're gorgeous, don't worry.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

they're supposed to be nice and tall.. hmm maybe the website is bugging out..

OpenStudy (babynini):

soo the sq2 cancel out? i'ts just 10? :o

OpenStudy (babynini):

10-10i?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

mmmmm ya looks good!

OpenStudy (babynini):

whaaat thats cray

OpenStudy (babynini):

that don't seem right bro haha

zepdrix (zepdrix):

mmm k ill check :) sec

OpenStudy (babynini):

It probably is but it seems way simple x)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28-5i%29%282%2B2i%29 notice that you can check your work very easily,\[\Large\rm (-5\mathcal i)(2+2\mathcal i)=-5\cdot2\mathcal i-5\cdot2\mathcal i^2\]\[\Large\rm =10-10\mathcal i\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I mean, you can check your work very easily by NOT converting to cis.

OpenStudy (babynini):

oh. wow, that is a lot easier. okies!!

OpenStudy (babynini):

I have one more question like this but i'll put it on another post :) thanks!
