Find the modulus of each of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in polar form:
= 4i - 4
Let Z = 4i - 4 = r(cosθ + isinθ)
Now , separating real and complex part , we get
-4 = rcosθ ……….eq.1
= rsinθ …………eq.2
Squaring and adding eq.1 and eq.2, we get
64 = r2
Since r is always a positive no., therefore,
r = 8,
hence its modulus is 8.
now, dividing eq.2 by eq.1 , we get,
tanθ = -√3
Since ,
and tanθ = -√3. therefore the θ lies in second quadrant.
Tanθ = -√3, therefore
Representing the complex no. in its polar form will be
