Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=12 and an angle θ1=163∘.Express z1 in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi.Round a and b to the nearest thousandth.z1=□+□i
Convert angle to radians: To convert a complex number from polar to rectangular form, we use the equations a=∣z∣⋅cos(θ) and b=∣z∣⋅sin(θ), where ∣z∣ is the magnitude and θ is the angle in radians.
Calculate theta in radians: First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. The angle given is 163 degrees. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180. θ1 in radians = 163×(π/180)
Calculate real part a: Now we calculate the value of θ1 in radians.θ1 in radians ≈163×(π/180)≈2.844886680750757
Calculate value of a: Next, we calculate the real part a of the complex number using the cosine of the angle.a=∣z1∣⋅cos(θ1)=12⋅cos(2.844886680750757)
Calculate imaginary part b: Now we calculate the value of a.a≈12×cos(2.844886680750757)≈12×(−0.961261695938319)≈−11.535140351259428
Calculate value of b: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b of the complex number using the sine of the angle.b=∣z1∣⋅sin(θ1)=12⋅sin(2.844886680750757)
Round to nearest thousandth: Now we calculate the value of b.b≈12×sin(2.844886680750757)≈12×0.27563735581699916≈3.30764787060399
Round to nearest thousandth: Now we calculate the value of b.b≈12×sin(2.844886680750757)≈12×0.27563735581699916≈3.30764787060399Finally, we round a and b to the nearest thousandth.a≈−11.535 (rounded to the nearest thousandth)b≈3.308 (rounded to the nearest thousandth)
