When converting a complex number from rectangular form to polar form, "θ" must always be expressed in radians.

Question

When converting a complex number from rectangular form to polar form, "θ" must always be expressed in radians.

Solution

No, the statement is not entirely correct. The angle "θ" in the polar form of a complex number can be expressed in either degrees or radians. The choice between degrees and radians often depends on the context or the specific requirements of a problem. However, in many mathematical and engineering applications, radians are often used because of their mathematical properties.

To convert complex numbers to polar and rectangular forms, we need to understand the following: 1. **Rectangular Form**: \( z = a + bj \), where \( a \) is the real part and \( b \) is the imaginary part. 2. **Polar Form**: \( z = r(\cos \theta + j \sin \theta) \) or \( z = re^{j\theta} \), where \( r \) is the magnitude and \( \theta \) is the argument (angle). The magnitude \( r \) and the argument \( \theta \) can be found using: \[ r = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \] \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{b}{a}\right) \] Let's convert each expression to both forms: ### f) \( (3 + \sqrt{5}j)(3 - \sqrt{5}j) \) First, simplify the expression: \[ (3 + \sqrt{5}j)(3 - \sqrt{5}j) = 3^2 - (\sqrt{5}j)^2 = 9 - 5j^2 = 9 - 5(-1) = 9 + 5 = 14 \] - **Rectangular Form**: \( 14 \) - **Polar Form**: \( 14(\cos 0 + j \sin 0) \) or \( 14e^{j0} \) ### g) \( \frac{1}{3 + \sqrt{5}j} \) To simplify, multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{1}{3 + \sqrt{5}j} \cdot \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}j}{3 - \sqrt{5}j} = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}j}{(3 + \sqrt{5}j)(3 - \sqrt{5}j)} = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}j}{14} = \frac{3}{14} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{14}j \] - **Rectangular Form**: \( \frac{3}{14} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{14}j \) - **Polar Form**: \[ r = \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{14}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{14}\right)^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{14}} \] \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{5}/14}{3/14}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{5}}{3}\right) \] So, the polar form is \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{14}} \left( \cos \theta + j \sin \theta \right) \) or \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{14}} e^{j\theta} \) ### h) \( (1 + j\sqrt{3})(3 + 2j) \) First, expand the expression: \[ (1 + j\sqrt{3})(3 + 2j) = 1 \cdot 3 + 1 \cdot 2j + j\sqrt{3} \cdot 3 + j\sqrt{3} \cdot 2j \] \[ = 3 + 2j + 3j\sqrt{3} + 2j^2\sqrt{3} \] \[ = 3 + 2j + 3j\sqrt{3} + 2(-1)\sqrt{3} \] \[ = 3 + 2j + 3j\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3} \] - **Rectangular Form**: \( 3 - 2\sqrt{3} + (2 + 3\sqrt{3})j \) - **Polar Form**: \[ r = \sqrt{(3 - 2\sqrt{3})^2 + (2 + 3\sqrt{3})^2} \] \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2 + 3\sqrt{3}}{3 - 2\sqrt{3}}\right) \] So, the polar form is \( r \left( \cos \theta + j \sin \theta \right) \) or \( r e^{j\theta} \) ### i) \( (1 - j\sqrt{3})(3 - 2j) \) First, expand the expression: \[ (

To solve these complex number expressions in both rectangular (Re + j Im) and polar/exponential (Ae^(jθ)) forms, we need to follow these steps: 1. **Rectangular Form**: Simplify the expression to the form \( a + bj \). 2. **Polar Form**: Convert the rectangular form to polar form using the magnitude \( A = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \) and the angle \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(b/a) \).
