## Question:

i) Find the exponential and polar form of {eq}z_1=-10-6i {/eq} and its principal value of its argument.

ii) For complex number {eq}z_2=4\angle 30^{\circ} {/eq} in polar form, express it in exponential form and then express it in {eq}x+iy {/eq} standard form,

iii) Find {eq}z_1+\bar{z_2} ,\bar{z_2^{2}}, {/eq} and {eq}Im\left ( z_1/z_2 \right ) {/eq}.

## Polar and Exponential Form of a Complex Number

{eq}{/eq}

Consider a complex number of the form :

$$z = x + y \ i \\$$

1. Its modulus (distance from the origin) is given by :

$$r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 } \\$$

2. Its argument is given by the formula :

$$\tan{(arg(z))} = \frac{y}{x} \\$$

Where, arg(z) is expressed in radians. We need to pick a suitable value of arg(z) such that :

$$-\pi \leq arg(z) \ \leq \pi \\$$

3. Its polar form is given by

$$z = r\angle \theta \\$$

{eq}\theta = arg(z) \\ {/eq}

4. Its exponential form is given by :

$$z = r e^{i\theta} \\$$

{eq}\theta = arg(z) \\ {/eq}

(i) Given complex number :

{eq}z_1 = -10-6i \\ \Rightarrow |z_1| = \sqrt{(-10)^2 + (-6)^2} \\ \Rightarrow |z_1| = \sqrt{136}...
