Q. A complex number z1 has a magnitude ∣z1∣=8 and an angle θ1=67∘.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=r⋅cos(θ) and b=r⋅sin(θ), where r 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 67 degrees. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180.θ1 in radians = 67×(π/180)
Calculate theta in radians: Now we calculate the value of θ1 in radians.θ1 in radians = 67×(π/180)≈1.16937 radians
Calculate real part a: Next, we calculate the real part a of the complex number using the magnitude and the cosine of the angle.a=∣z1∣⋅cos(θ1)=8⋅cos(1.16937)
Calculate value of a: Now we calculate the value of a.a≈8×cos(1.16937)≈8×0.39073≈3.12584
Calculate imaginary part b: Next, we calculate the imaginary part b of the complex number using the magnitude and the sine of the angle.b=∣z1∣⋅sin(θ1)=8⋅sin(1.16937)
Calculate value of b: Now we calculate the value of b.b≈8×sin(1.16937)≈8×0.92050≈7.364
Round a and b: We round a and b to the nearest thousandth as requested.a≈3.126b≈7.364
Complex number in rectangular form: The complex number z1 in rectangular form is z1=a+bi, so we have:z1=3.126+7.364i
