Lesson 6.

5a

Graph in coordinate plane Remember complex # are in the form z =x + yi

Called the complex plane Horizontal axis is the real axis Vertical axis is the imaginary axis
-5i 3 + 4i

-2 + 3i

Defined as the length of the line segment

From the origin to the point

Calculated by using Pythagorean Theorem

3 + 4i

3 4i 32 42 25 5
3

Consider the graphical representation

We note that a right triangle is formed Conversions: Now we use
r a

a + bi
b

a r cos

b r sin

How do we determine ?

and substitute into z = a + bi Result is called the trigonometric form of a complex number

z r cos i r sin

Given the complex number -5 + 6i

Write in trigonometric form

Given z = 3 (cos315 + isin315)

Write in standanrd form

Given

z1 r1 cos1 i sin 1

z2 r2 cos2 i sin 2

Product:

Quotient:

Try the following operations using trig form
