Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=10 and an angle θ1=84∘.Express z1 in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi.Round a and b to the nearest thousandth.z1=□+□i
Rectangular form formula: To express a complex number in rectangular form, we use the formula z=a+bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. We can find a and b using the polar form of the complex number, which is z=r(cos(θ)+isin(θ)), where r is the magnitude and θ is the angle.
Calculating real part: Given the magnitude ∣z1∣=10 and the angle θ1=84 degrees, we can calculate the real part a as a=r⋅cos(θ)=10⋅cos(84 degrees).
Calculating imaginary part: Using a calculator, we find that cos(84∘)≈0.104528. Therefore, a≈10×0.104528≈1.04528.
Rounding to nearest thousandth: Now we calculate the imaginary part b as b=r×sin(θ)=10×sin(84∘).
Final rectangular form: Using a calculator, we find that sin(84∘)≈0.994522. Therefore, b≈10×0.994522≈9.94522.
Final rectangular form: Using a calculator, we find that sin(84∘)≈0.994522. Therefore, b≈10×0.994522≈9.94522.Rounding a and b to the nearest thousandth, we get a≈1.045 and b≈9.945.
Final rectangular form: Using a calculator, we find that sin(84∘)≈0.994522. Therefore, b≈10×0.994522≈9.94522. Rounding a and b to the nearest thousandth, we get a≈1.045 and b≈9.945. Therefore, the complex number z1 in rectangular form is z1=1.045+9.945i.
