Question:
Find the modulus of each of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in polar form: 4
Solution:
Let Z = 4 = r(cosθ + isinθ)
Now, separating real and complex part, we get
4 = rcosθ……….eq.1
0 = rsinθ…………eq.2
Squaring and adding eq.1 and eq.2, we get
$16=r^{2}$
Since r is always a positive no., therefore,
r = 4,
Hence its modulus is 4.
Now, dividing eq.2 by eq.1, we get,
$\frac{r \sin \theta}{r \cos \theta}=\frac{0}{4}$
Tanθ = 0
Since cosθ = 1, sinθ = 0 and tanθ = 0. Therefore the θ lies in first quadrant.
Tanθ = 0, therefore θ = 0°
Representing the complex no. in its polar form will be
$Z=4\left(\cos 0^{\circ}+i \sin 0^{\circ}\right)$
