Q. A complex number z1 z_{1} has a magnitude z1=8 \left|z_{1}\right|=8 and an angle θ1=67 \theta_{1}=67^{\circ} .\newlineExpress z1 z_{1} in rectangular form, as z1=a+bi z_{1}=a+b i .\newlineRound a a and b b to the nearest thousandth.\newlinez1=+i z_{1}=\square+\square i
  1. Conversion equations: To convert a complex number from polar to rectangular form, we use the equations a=rcos(θ)a = r \cdot \cos(\theta) and b=rsin(θ)b = r \cdot \sin(\theta), where rr is the magnitude and θ\theta is the angle in radians.
  2. Convert angle to radians: First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. The angle given is 6767 degrees. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180\pi/180.\newlineθ1\theta_{1} in radians = 67×(π/180)67 \times (\pi/180)
  3. Calculate theta in radians: Now we calculate the value of θ1\theta_{1} in radians.θ1\theta_{1} in radians = 67×(π/180)1.1693767 \times (\pi/180) \approx 1.16937 radians
  4. Calculate real part aa: Next, we calculate the real part aa of the complex number using the magnitude and the cosine of the angle.a=z1cos(θ1)=8cos(1.16937)a = |z_{1}| \cdot \cos(\theta_{1}) = 8 \cdot \cos(1.16937)
  5. Calculate value of a: Now we calculate the value of aa.a8×cos(1.16937)8×0.390733.12584a \approx 8 \times \cos(1.16937) \approx 8 \times 0.39073 \approx 3.12584
  6. Calculate imaginary part bb: Next, we calculate the imaginary part bb of the complex number using the magnitude and the sine of the angle.b=z1sin(θ1)=8sin(1.16937)b = |z_{1}| \cdot \sin(\theta_{1}) = 8 \cdot \sin(1.16937)
  7. Calculate value of b: Now we calculate the value of bb.b8×sin(1.16937)8×0.920507.364b \approx 8 \times \sin(1.16937) \approx 8 \times 0.92050 \approx 7.364
  8. Round aa and bb: We round aa and bb to the nearest thousandth as requested.a3.126a \approx 3.126b7.364b \approx 7.364
  9. Complex number in rectangular form: The complex number z1z_{1} in rectangular form is z1=a+biz_{1} = a + bi, so we have:\newlinez1=3.126+7.364iz_{1} = 3.126 + 7.364i
