Q:

Use the polar representation to write the following in the form a + bi (a) (-1+ i)^7 (b) (1+v3i)^10

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:For any complex number x+iy the polar form is represented as [tex]z=re^{i\theta }[/tex]where[tex]r^{2}=x^2+y^2\\\\tan(\theta )=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]Part a) x+iy = -1+iThus [tex]r=\sqrt{-1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{2}\\\\ Β \theta _{1}=tan^{-1}(\frac{-1}{1})=\frac{-\pi }{4}[/tex]Thus using De-Morvier's theorem [tex](-1+i)^7=(\sqrt{2}e^{i\frac{-\pi }{4}})^7\\\\\therefore (-1+i)^7=2^{7/2}\cdot e^{\frac{i-\pi }{28}}[/tex]Part 2) x+iy = 1+3iThus [tex]r=\sqrt{1^2+3^2}=\sqrt{10}\\\\ Β \theta _{1}=tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{1})=1.25[/tex]Thus using De-Morvier's theorem [tex](1+3i)^{10}=(\sqrt{10}e^{1.25i})^{10}\\\\\therefore (1+3i)^{10}=10^{5}\cdot e^{12.5i}[/tex]
