Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=2 and an angle θ1=49∘.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 cosine and sine: First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. The angle given is 49 degrees. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180.θ1 in radians = 49×(π/180)
Find a and b: Now we calculate the cosine and sine of θ1 in radians.cos(θ1)=cos(49×(π/180))sin(θ1)=sin(49×(π/180))
Calculate values of a and b: We then multiply the cosine and sine by the magnitude ∣z1∣ to find a and b.a=∣z1∣⋅cos(θ1)=2⋅cos(49⋅(180π))b=∣z1∣⋅sin(θ1)=2⋅sin(49⋅(180π))
Determine rectangular form: Using a calculator, we find the values of a and b, rounding to the nearest thousandth.a≈2×cos(49×(180π))≈2×0.6561≈1.312b≈2×sin(49×(180π))≈2×0.7547≈1.509
Determine rectangular form: Using a calculator, we find the values of a and b, rounding to the nearest thousandth.a≈2×cos(49×(π/180))≈2×0.6561≈1.312b≈2×sin(49×(π/180))≈2×0.7547≈1.509The rectangular form of z1 is therefore approximately z1=1.312+1.509i.
