8.3 Polar Form of Complex Numbers
Complex #: a + bi Where a is the real number part and bi is the imaginary number part.
Complex Plane Graph: 2 + 3i 3 – 2i Think about it like: (2,3i) (3,-2i)
Distance between point and the origin Absolute Value of a complex number z = a + bi (modulus) is: Distance between point and the origin Pythagorean Theorem
Find modulus: 3 + 4i -7 + 24i
If z = a + bi and we connect that point to the origin, we get:
Therefore:
Write in polar form: 1 + i 3 + 4i
Write in polar form:
Express in rectangular form (keep going!)
