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

zarkam21:

Quadrant IV

Vocaloid:

|dw:1527865662938:dw| not quadrant IV, try one more time

zarkam21:

oh I read that wrong, I thought you said (5,-5) ….(-5,-5) would be in quadrant III

Vocaloid:

good, what about the modulus?

zarkam21:

5sqrt2

Vocaloid:

good so which two answer choices do we have?

zarkam21:

A and B

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

I have a quick question.

zarkam21:

in a number with an "i" ,, do you just ignore that

zarkam21:

like for instance, in this problem we just worked with (-5,-5)

zarkam21:

oh we follow a+bi?

zarkam21:

a=x b=y

Vocaloid:

sort of, for complex numbers we assume we are graphing in the imaginary plane not the normal xy plane

Vocaloid:

|dw:1527866107901:dw|

Vocaloid:

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

zarkam21:

Yes it does, so if the y value is one that is on the sameimaginary axis as the "i" , the i will basically count

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

can you give me an example of an equation where the i will not count

zarkam21:

ohhh when the y is negative?

Vocaloid:

the i is still relevant, but for the purposes of modulus and argument calculations you don't need to consider it

Vocaloid:

when you convert from complex to trigonometric, or the other way around, the i still need to be considered

zarkam21:

okay =)

D

Vocaloid:

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

zarkam21:

okay so -5 deff so it has to be either b or c

Vocaloid:

what do you get when you add/subtract pi to pi/4?

Vocaloid:

try both addition or subtraction and see if any choices match

zarkam21:

B

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

A and D

Vocaloid:

hm. I think A and D are true, just trying to double check B

Vocaloid:

ok the proof is kind of complex but yes, the nth root of unity for even n will always include -1 so ABD

zarkam21:

Okay =)

Vocaloid:

starts with a p

zarkam21:

polar axis

Vocaloid:

good but the sentence already includes the word axis, so just polar

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

so technically there are two that could work but the one that they might want starts with mo

zarkam21:

umm modulus

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

or the other is magnitude but modulus works
