#4(cos0+isin0)#

Explanation:

To express a complex number in trigonometric form.

#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(z=x+yi=r(costheta+isintheta))color(white)(a/a)|)))#

#color(orange)"Reminder"#

#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(r=sqrt(x^2+y^2))color(white)(a/a)|)))#

#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(theta=tan^-1(y/x))color(white)(a/a)|)))#

consider #z=4=4+0i#

here x = 4 and y = 0

#rArrr=sqrt(4^2+0^2)=4#

and #theta=tan^-1(0/4)=tan^-1(0)=0#

#rArrz=4=4(cos0+isin0)" in trigonometric form"#
