SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on converting complex numbers from exponential to rectangular form. The user presents five complex numbers, including Z2 = 3e^(-60i) and Z3 = 7.19e^(-2.13i), and seeks validation for their conversions. Key errors identified include incorrect trigonometric values and the need for radian measure in the exponential representation. The correct conversion for Z2 is Z2 = 3e^{-\frac{i\pi}{3}}, emphasizing the importance of accurate angle measurement in complex number calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex numbers and their representations
  • Familiarity with Euler's formula
  • Knowledge of trigonometric functions in both degrees and radians
  • Basic skills in algebraic manipulation of complex expressions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Euler's formula and its applications in complex number conversions
  • Learn about the differences between degrees and radians in trigonometric calculations
  • Practice converting complex numbers between polar and rectangular forms
  • Explore common errors in complex number calculations and how to avoid them
USEFUL FOR

Students studying complex analysis, mathematicians, and anyone involved in engineering or physics requiring complex number manipulation.

Hi



I want check my answer if correct or not



write in rectangular form

1) Z2 = 3e^(-60)i

2) z3 = 7.19e^-2.13i

3) z1 = root2 e^(-pi/2)i

4)z2 = 3e^120i

5 ) z3 = 6.49e^-2.08i

------







my answer :







1)

= 3{cos (-60 ) + i sin ( -60) }

= 3(cos(1/2) + i sin (-root 3/2 ) }

= 3(1/2 + - root3/2)

= 1/2 + - root 3 /6



2 )

= 7.19 { cos ( -2.13 ) - i sin (-2.13 ) }

= 7.19{ 0.999 - -(0.037 ) }

= 7.182 - 0.266



3 )



= root2 { cos (-pi/2) - i sin (-pi / 2 ) }

= root 2 ( 0- 1 )

= 0 - root2



4 )



= 3{ cos (120) - i sin (120) }

3(1/2) - ( root 3 /2 )

= 1/2 - root3/6



5 )

6.49 {(cos ( -2.08 ) - i sin ( -2.08 ) i )

= 6.49 (0.999 ) - ( -0.036 )

= 6.18 + -236

=6.18 - 236

I will help you on the first one. The first nitpick is that the exponential should be expressed in radian measure.

[tex]Z_2 =3e^{-\frac {i\pi}{3}}[/tex]

my answer :

1)

= 3{cos (-60 ) + i sin ( -60) }

= 3(cos(1/2) + i sin (-root 3/2 ) }

That step is wrong, cos(-60) isn't equal cos(1/2)...

= 3(1/2 + - root3/2)
which you now sort of fixed...
= 1/2 + - root 3 /6

and messed up again. What happened to the 3? The cosine of -60 degrees has one value and you have to choose the correct + or -.
