Find the modulus of each of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in polar form: –i
Let Z = -i = r(cosθ + isinθ)
Now , separating real and complex part , we get
0 = rcosθ……….eq.1
-1 = rsinθ …………eq.2
Squaring and adding eq.1 and eq.2, we get
1 = r2
Since r is always a positive no., therefore,
r = 1,
hence its modulus is 1.
now, dividing eq.2 by eq.1 , we get,
Tanθ = -∞
Since cosθ = 0 , sinθ = -1 and tanθ = -∞ . therefore the lies in fourth quadrant.
Tanθ = -∞, therefore
Representing the complex no. in its polar form will be
