Question

Write in polar form of the following complex numbers

– 2 – i2

Sum

Solution

– 2 – i2 = r(cos θ + i sin θ)

Let z = – 2 – i2 = r(cos θ + i sin θ)

Equating real and imaginary parts

r cos θ = – 2

r sin θ = – 2

r2 cos2θ + r sin2θ = (– 2)2 + (– 2)2

r2 = 4 + 4 = 8

r2 = 8

|z| = r = `2sqrt(2)`

cos θ = `(-2)/(2sqrt(2) = (-1)/sqrt(2)`

sin θ = `(-2)/(2sqrt(2)) = (-1)/sqrt(2)`

Since cos θ and sin θ both are in – ve so lies in III quadrant.

Argument = `2"k"pi - 3 pi/4`

As θ = `pi/4 - pi = - (3pi)/4`

∴ Polar from z = r(cos θ + i sin θ)

– 2 – i2 = `2sqrt(2) (cos(2"k"pi - (3pi)/4) + "i" sin(2"k"pi - 3/4)) "k" ∈ "z"`
