if im being truthful, I dont even know where to begin. So if someone could explain the steps ?
Do you know any of it?
So here is how the complex plane works drawing: |dw:1588305914178:dw| So I gave the location of 3-2i, so you should be able to figure out the quadrant
quadrant IV
Yes
yeah
then the last one would be quad ii ?
Because if you think about it this way: 3-2i(i^2) = 3i^2 - 2i^3 -3 - -i = -3+i
So that is why multiplying by i^2 would result in 180 degrees
So yes the last one is quadrant 2
ohh okay yes that makes sense! thank you for your help!
it seems like the answer was 90 degrees:/
could you explain why it could have been 90?
?
multiplying by i^2 is 90 degrees?
Oh no @jennylove you read the problem wrong. For the second one it was saying when a complex number is multiplied by an imaginary unit (ex i) then it would undergoe 90 degrees rotation
in this case because it is i^2 it is 180 degrees rotation
the second part was asking if it is multiplied by imaginary unit such as i not i^2
oh no!! I see the mistake!
Yeah, sorry I didn't catch that in the problem. I kinda read it as if it is multiplied by i^2 as in this case not an imaginary unit
