Question #976bb Precalculus Polar Coordinates Converting Coordinates from Rectangular to Polar 1 Answer Ratnaker Mehta Mar 14, 2017 (i) : 4cis120^@=-2+i2sqrt3; (ii) : 9cis(3pi/2)=-9i.(i):4cis120∘=−2+i2√3;(ii):9cis(3π2)=−9i. Explanation: Recall that, rcis theta=r(cos theta +i sin theta).rcisθ=r(cosθ+isinθ). (i) 4cis 120^@=4(cos 120^@ + i sin 120^@)(i)4cis120∘=4(cos120∘+isin120∘) =4{cos (90^@+30^@)+isin(90^@+30^@)}=4{cos(90∘+30∘)+isin(90∘+30∘)} =4{-sin30^@+icos30^@}=4{−sin30∘+icos30∘} =4{-1/2+isqrt3/2}=4{−12+i√32} :. 4cis 120^@=-2+i2sqrt3. Similarly, (ii) : 9cis(3pi/2)=-9i. Enjoy Maths.! Answer link Related questions What are the polar coordinates of (0, -2)? What are the polar coordinates of (-4, 0)?
