Find the modulus of each of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in polar form: 4

Let Z = 4 = r(cosθ + isinθ)


Now, separating real and complex part, we get


4 = rcosθ……….eq.1


0 = rsinθ…………eq.2


Squaring and adding eq.1 and eq.2, we get


16 = r2


Since r is always a positive no., therefore,


r = 4,


hence its modulus is 4.


now, dividing eq.2 by eq.1, we get,



Tanθ = 0


Since cosθ = 1, sinθ = 0 and tanθ = 0. Therefore the θ lies in first quadrant.


Tanθ = 0, therefore θ = 0°


Representing the complex no. in its polar form will be


Z = 4(cos0° + isin0°)
