Algebra help??? Write the complex number 1+i in polar form. A. √3(cos30°+i sin 30°) B. √2(cos45°+i sin 45°) C. 2(cos30°+i sin 30°) D. -√3(cos30°+i sin 30°)

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you need two numbers \(r\) and \(\theta\) \(r\) is the easiest, it is \[r=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt2\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

then you need \(\theta\) which is easy to find there

|dw:1446579643278:dw|

OpenStudy (misty1212):

since you went to the right one and up one, the angle is \(45^\circ\)

Thank you! Mind to do another for me?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

go ahead and ask

Write the complex number -3i in polar form. A. 3(cos270°+i sin 270°) B. -3(cos60°+i sin 60°) C.√3 (cos90°+i sin 90°) D. √3(cos180°+i sin 180°)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

even easier

OpenStudy (misty1212):

absolute value is clearly 3, pick the first one since that is the only one with a 3 out front

OpenStudy (misty1212):

also it is right the angle is 270
