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