Compute the modulus and argument of each complex number.
r=sqrtx^2+y^2 right
yes
be careful with parentheses modulus = sqrt(x^2+y^2)
okay so 0
sqrt(x^2+y^2) sqrt((1)^2+(i)^2) =0
for modulus and theta calculations don't include i, but do include the coefficient so 1 + i gives us x = 1 and y = 1
sqrt(x^2+y^2) sqrt((1)^2+(1)^2) =sqrt2
good, keep going
sqrt(x^2+y^2) sqrt((4)^2+(-4)^2)=4sqrt2 sqrt(x^2+y^2) sqrt((2)^2+(5)^2)=sqrt29
good
for part IV i kinda forgot how to do iit :/
the argument is just the theta value inside cos and sin the modulus is the number out in front (2)
okay so modulus = 2 argument = 2pi/3
what about the argument for the other ones,
theta = arctan(y/x).
arctan (5/2)= 68.2 degrees (PartIII)
arctan (4/4) = pi/4 = 45degrees (Part II)
arctan (1/1)=pi/4=45degrees (Part I)
check your sign on part II, it's 4 - 4i so it should be arctan(-4/4)
arctan (-4/4) = -pi/4 = -45degrees (Part II)
good, since we'd usually want a positive theta you can just add 360 degrees (or 2pi) to that
=315 degrees
