Q. A complex number z1 z_{1} has a magnitude z1=18 \left|z_{1}\right|=18 and an angle θ1=122 \theta_{1}=122^{\circ} .\newlineExpress z1 z_{1} in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi z_{1}=a+b i .\newlineRound a a and b b to the nearest thousandth.\newlinez1=+i z_{1}=\square+\square i
  1. Formulas Used: To convert from polar to rectangular form, we use the formulas a=rcos(θ)a = r \cdot \cos(\theta) and b=rsin(θ)b = r \cdot \sin(\theta), where rr is the magnitude and θ\theta is the angle.
  2. Calculate Real Part: First, calculate the real part aa: a=18×cos(122)a = 18 \times \cos(122^\circ). Using a calculator, we find a18×(0.5299)9.5382a \approx 18 \times (-0.5299) \approx -9.5382.
  3. Calculate Imaginary Part: Now, calculate the imaginary part bb: b=18×sin(122)b = 18 \times \sin(122^\circ). Using a calculator, we find b18×0.848015.264b \approx 18 \times 0.8480 \approx 15.264.
  4. Round to Nearest Thousandth: Round aa and bb to the nearest thousandth.a9.538a \approx -9.538 and b15.264b \approx 15.264.
