Q. z=7+3iFind the angle θ (in degrees) that z makes in the complex plane. Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest tenth. Express θ between −180∘ and 180∘.θ=□∘
Identify Complex Number: Represent the complex number in the form z=a+bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.For z=7+3i, we have a=7 and b=3.
Calculate Angle: Calculate the angle θ using the arctangent function, which gives the angle in radians. The formula to find the angle is θ=arctan(ab).θ=arctan(73)
Convert to Degrees: Use a calculator to find the value of θ in radians and then convert it to degrees.θ=arctan(73)≈arctan(0.4286)≈0.4189 radians To convert radians to degrees, multiply by π180.θ≈0.4189×(π180)≈24.0 degrees
Check Quadrant: Since the real part a=7 is positive and the imaginary part b=3 is also positive, the angle θ is in the first quadrant. Therefore, no further adjustments are needed for the angle.
Express in Range: Express θ between −180 degrees and 180 degrees. Since the angle is already in the first quadrant and less than 90 degrees, it is within the required range.
