Question

Express the complex number 5/2(cos150° + i sin150°) in standard a + bi form

Answer 1

Finding the sine and the cosine of the angle, it is found that the complex number in standard form is z = -2.165 + 1.25i.

What is a complex number?

A complex number is given by:

z = a + bi.

In which:

• a is the real part.

• b is the imaginary part.

In this problem, the complex number is given by:

$z = \frac{5}{2}(\cos{(150^\circ)} + i\sin{(150^\circ)})$

Using a calculator, we have that:

• cos(150º) = -0.866.

• sin(150º) = 0.5.

Hence:

z = 2.5 x (-0.866) + 2.5 x 0.5i

z = -2.165 + 1.25i.
