Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=22 and an angle θ1=56∘.Express z1 in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi.Round a and b to the nearest thousandth.z1=□+□i
Formulas for conversion: To convert a complex number from polar to rectangular form, we use the formulas a=r⋅cos(θ) and b=r⋅sin(θ), where r is the magnitude and θ is the angle in degrees.
Calculating the real part: First, we calculate the real part a of the complex number z1. We have r=22 and θ=56 degrees. So, a=22×cos(56∘).
Finding the value of a: Using a calculator, we find that cos(56∘) is approximately 0.559192. Therefore, a=22×0.559192.
Calculating the imaginary part: Performing the multiplication, we get a≈22×0.559192≈12.302224. We round this to the nearest thousandth to get a≈12.302.
Finding the value of b: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b of the complex number z1. We have r=22 and θ=56 degrees. So, b=22×sin(56 degrees).
Finding the value of b: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b of the complex number z1. We have r=22 and θ=56 degrees. So, b=22×sin(56 degrees). Using a calculator, we find that sin(56 degrees) is approximately 0.829038. Therefore, b=22×0.829038.
Finding the value of b: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b of the complex number z1. We have r=22 and θ=56 degrees. So, b=22×sin(56∘).Using a calculator, we find that sin(56∘) is approximately 0.829038. Therefore, b=22×0.829038.Performing the multiplication, we get b≈22×0.829038≈18.238836. We round this to the nearest thousandth to get b0.
