SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on simplifying the sinusoidal function 2sin(wot+45)+cis(wot) to the form Acos(wot). The user successfully converts the expression to 1.85cos(wot + 22.5) by using Euler's formula and calculating the magnitude and angle. However, the user initially miscalculated the amplitude, which led to a discrepancy with the book's answer of 2.798cos(wot - 30.36). The correct approach involves ensuring proper amplitude multiplication during conversion.

2sin(wot+45)+cis(wot) to Acos(wot)

i convert it

2e^-j45 = √2/2 - j√2/2
1e^j0 = 1 - j0

adding these up i get

(√2/2 + 1) -j(√2/2)

1.707 - j.707

magnitude = √1.707²+.707² = 1.85

angle = tan^-1(.707/1.707) = 22.5

so i get 1.85cos(wot +22.5)

while the book has the answer

2.798cos(wot-30.36)
