    Polar Rectangular
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying answers for complex number multiplication and conversion to polar form. In part (a), there is a correction regarding the calculation of (2i)², which should equal -4 instead of 4i. For part (b), the correct calculation for the angle involves using tan⁻¹(2/-2) instead of tan⁻¹(2/2). Additionally, there is confusion about the expression 45 - π/4, which needs clarification. The participants also inquire about the educational level of the person seeking help to tailor their assistance appropriately.

Which level are you at? College? I will like to know that before I help you
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
