C and D?
@Vocaloid
not quite any attempts to calculate the modulus or sketch the complex number in a coordinate plane? r = sqrt(x^2+y^2) for the sketch, it is similar to the point (-5,-5), try to see which quadrant this would be in
Quadrant IV
|dw:1527865662938:dw| not quadrant IV, try one more time
oh I read that wrong, I thought you said (5,-5) ….(-5,-5) would be in quadrant III
good, what about the modulus?
5sqrt2
good so which two answer choices do we have?
A and B
good
I have a quick question.
in a number with an "i" ,, do you just ignore that
like for instance, in this problem we just worked with (-5,-5)
oh we follow a+bi?
a=x b=y
sort of, for complex numbers we assume we are graphing in the imaginary plane not the normal xy plane
|dw:1527866107901:dw|
since y is assumed to be on the imaginary axis the (i) is still relevant but that's how we take it into account hope that makes some sense
Yes it does, so if the y value is one that is on the sameimaginary axis as the "i" , the i will basically count
yes
can you give me an example of an equation where the i will not count
ohhh when the y is negative?
the i is still relevant, but for the purposes of modulus and argument calculations you don't need to consider it
when you convert from complex to trigonometric, or the other way around, the i still need to be considered
okay =)
D
hm. not quite. remember the rule for finding equivalent polar coordinates: multiply the r value by -1, then you can either add or subtract pi from the angle to get a new angle
okay so -5 deff so it has to be either b or c
what do you get when you add/subtract pi to pi/4?
try both addition or subtraction and see if any choices match
B
good
A and D
hm. I think A and D are true, just trying to double check B
ok the proof is kind of complex but yes, the nth root of unity for even n will always include -1 so ABD
Okay =)
T
good
polar?
polar equation
good, polar equation
good
b
good
starts with a p
polar axis
good but the sentence already includes the word axis, so just polar
so technically there are two that could work but the one that they might want starts with mo
umm modulus
good
or the other is magnitude but modulus works
