AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around converting the complex voltage expression V = 10<90 degrees + 66 - j(10 V) at an angular frequency of 10k rads/s. The initial confusion stems from the conversion of the complex number into a time-domain function. The correct simplification reveals that the imaginary components cancel out, leading to a final result of 66. The conclusion is that the voltage can be expressed as 66cos(10^4t). This highlights the importance of careful algebraic manipulation in complex number conversions.

Question: Convert V = 10< 90 degrees + 66 - j(10 V) at angular frequency = 10k rads/s.

I am stuck here 10(cos(90)+ j(sin(90)) + 66 - j(10)

which would then be: 0 + j + 66 - j(10)

Convert to what?

Question: Convert V

Do you have the original problem wording?
Convert to what?
1) V(t)=V(0)sin(wt+p) where t=time and V(0), w, p are real?
2) V(t)=V(0)Cos(wt+p) where t=time and V(0), w, p are real?
3) Other?

V(a)cos(\omegat+\phi)
V(t)=V(0)cos($\omega$t+$\phi$)
You are very close,
what is the angle represented by j + 66 - j(10)? That is $\phi$.

Can you find $\omega$ from the given frequency?
Can you find V(0); it is the magnitude of j + 66 - j(10)?

actually I am already given \omega, that is what angular frequency is. Although just re reading my initial post, I can spot my problem. I made an algebraic error:

10(cos(90)+ j(sin(90)) + 66 - j(10)

corrected: 10(0) + j(10) + 66 - j(10)

which just simplifies to 66, while the imaginary cancel out

Final answer: 66cos(10^4t)​

Thanks for your help!
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
