Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=20 and an angle θ1=281∘.Express z1 in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi.Round a and b to the nearest thousandth.z1=□+□i
Conversion equations: 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.
Convert angle to radians: First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. The angle given is 281 degrees. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180. θ=281×(π/180)
Calculate angle in radians: Now we calculate the angle in radians. θ=281×(π/180)≈4.90874 radians (rounded to five decimal places for intermediate calculations)
Calculate real part a: Next, we calculate the real part a using the cosine of the angle.a=∣z1∣⋅cos(θ)a=20⋅cos(4.90874)
Calculate value of a: Now we calculate the value of a.a≈20×cos(4.90874)≈20×(−0.85717)≈−17.1434 (rounded to four decimal places for intermediate calculations)
Calculate imaginary part b: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b using the sine of the angle.b=∣z1∣⋅sin(θ)b=20⋅sin(4.90874)
Calculate value of b: Now we calculate the value of b.b≈20×sin(4.90874)≈20×(−0.51504)≈−10.3008 (rounded to four decimal places for intermediate calculations)
Round a and b: Finally, we round a and b to the nearest thousandth.a≈−17.143b≈−10.301
