Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=2 and an angle θ1=39∘.Express z1 in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi.Round a and b to the nearest thousandth.z1=□+□i
Convert 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 39 degrees. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180. θ1 in radians = 39×(π/180)
Calculate Real Part: Now we calculate the value of θ1 in radians.θ1 in radians =39×(π/180)≈0.6807 radians (rounded to four decimal places for intermediate calculation)
Calculate Value of A: Next, we calculate the real part a of the complex number z1 using the magnitude and the cosine of the angle.a=∣z1∣⋅cos(θ1)=2⋅cos(0.6807)
Calculate Imaginary Part: Now we calculate the value of a.a≈2×cos(0.6807)≈2×0.7771≈1.5542 (rounded to four decimal places for intermediate calculation)
Calculate Value of B: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b of the complex number z1 using the magnitude and the sine of the angle.b=∣z1∣⋅sin(θ1)=2⋅sin(0.6807)
Round to Nearest Thousandth: Now we calculate the value of b.b≈2×sin(0.6807)≈2×0.6293≈1.2586 (rounded to four decimal places for intermediate calculation)
Round to Nearest Thousandth: Now we calculate the value of b.b≈2×sin(0.6807)≈2×0.6293≈1.2586 (rounded to four decimal places for intermediate calculation)Finally, we round a and b to the nearest thousandth as requested.a≈1.554 (rounded to the nearest thousandth)b≈1.259 (rounded to the nearest thousandth)
