Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=3 and an angle θ1=20∘.Express z1 in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi.Round a and b to the nearest thousandth.z1=□+□i
Convert to rectangular form: Convert the polar form of the complex number to rectangular form using the formula z=r(cos(θ)+isin(θ)), where r is the magnitude and θ is the angle.Given: ∣z1∣=3 and θ1=20 degrees.We need to calculate the cosine and sine of 20 degrees.
Calculate cosine and sine: Calculate the cosine and sine of 20 degrees.Using a calculator or trigonometric tables:cos(20∘)≈0.9397sin(20∘)≈0.3420
Multiply by magnitude: Multiply the cosine and sine values by the magnitude to get the real and imaginary parts of the complex number.a=r⋅cos(θ)=3⋅0.9397≈2.8191b=r⋅sin(θ)=3⋅0.3420≈1.0260
Round to nearest thousandth: Round the real and imaginary parts to the nearest thousandth.a≈2.819b≈1.026
Express in rectangular form: Express z1 in rectangular form using the rounded values of a and b.z1=a+bi=2.819+1.026i
