Exercise 3.  Represent the following complex numbers in polar form  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_164.gif].  

3 (g).  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_230.gif].  

Solution 3 (g).

See text and/or instructor's solution manual.

The modulus of  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_231.gif]  is  

        [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_232.gif]  

and an argument is  

        [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_233.gif].  

Hence, the polar form of  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_234.gif]  is  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_235.gif],  i.e.

        [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryContinuedModHome_gr_236.gif]

We are done.   

Aside.  We can let Mathematica double check our work.
