put the following equation in standard complex number form (a+bi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sqrt{3}/2+1/2i)^100\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the the 100th power

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

do you know de movire theroerm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do the french guy

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

\[(\cos \theta +i*\sin \theta)^{n}=\cos(n \theta)+isin(n \theta)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know about it

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

so what is your r and theta in this problem?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

\[z=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ 2 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }i\] you can work out the complex number in the form of z=r(cosx+isinx) then you know that \[z^{n}=r^{n}(\cos(nx)+isin(nx))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

your are is sqrt(a^2+b^2) and theta is tan^-1(b/a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i have that

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

now just do r^100 and 100*theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i square the square root of 3 over 2 and add it to one half squared

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

yes

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

then sqrt it

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

sqrt of 1 is 1 so nvrmnd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got the square root of 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 1 lol

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

now 1^100 is 1 , so your knew r is 1

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

new*

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

what about theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now theta is the arc tangent of b over a

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

yes, which is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 2 cancels out leaving me with that square root of 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 60 did i do that right

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

1.05 rad

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

1.05*100=105 rad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i was in degree mode on my calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we multiply it by 100 i thought we take it to the 100th power

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

but 2pi rad is 0, so you have to throw 32pi away, which leaves 4.47rad

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

you multiple r and add theta to multiplay, so power r and multiple theta to power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay so how can i but the answer in (a+bi) form

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

well, you are in polar corrd right now, how do you coordinate transform from polar to ractangular?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i have to do cosine or the square a^2 +b^2 again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant remember how :(

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

no

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

x=rcos(theta), y=rsin(theta)

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

x is your a and y is your b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so the cosine of the square root of 3 over 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got .99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for the sine of the other one i got .008 i think i am doing something wrong

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay so what to do with those numbers

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

rcostheta is a, and rsin theta is b

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

do you have answr to check?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -0.24 is a and -.97 is b so -0.24+-.97i

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

I hope that is right, but not 100% positive, I am too rust on complex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well thanks lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do this one : \[5i^7\]

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

5*i^7 or (5i)^7?

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

you dont need de movire for this

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

cuz i^4=1 so i^7=i^3=i^2*i=-i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh so its i^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is i

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

but i^3 is-i

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

no, -i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oops -i

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

so -5i I guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol are you sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have an example one maybe that will help you help me better

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the problem 7i^64 you divide 68 by 4 and then you get 7i^4 and that equals 7 and 7i^68 equals 7 this is a problem from the book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry the problem is 7i^68 not 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

says the 64+4=68 so thats how the answer is 7 so how can i solve 5i^7

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

yes, because i^(4n) is 1 where n is any postive integer

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

i^7=I^4*i^3=-i

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

soo ans is -5i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yea i see it now lol thanks

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):
