Given w =startroot 2 endroot (cosine (startfraction pi over 4 endfraction) i sine (startfraction pi over 4 endfraction) ) and z = 2 (cosine (startfraction pi over 2 endfraction) i sine (startfraction pi over 2 endfraction) ) , what is w – z expressed in polar form?

Sagot :

w-z can be expressed in ploar form as √2∠(7π/4)

Sometimes the expression A(cos(α)+i·sin(α)) is written as A·cis(α). I prefer the notation A∠α, because it is more compact.

 Given: w = √2∠(π/4)

 z = 2∠(π/2)

And you are asked to find the difference w-z in polar form.

In rectangular form, ...

 w = √2∠(π/4) = √2(1/√2 +i/√2) = 1 +i

 z = 2∠(π/2) = 2(0 +i·1) = 2i

Then the difference is ...

 w -z = (1 +i) -(2i) = 1 -i

You may notice this is the conjugate of w, so will have the opposite angle:

w - z = w* = √2∠(-π/4) = √2∠(7π/4)

In the terms used by the problem statement, ...

 w -z = √2(cos(7π/4) +i·sin(7π/4))
