Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a

The tangent and the radius at the point of contact form a right angle

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle formed.

Let x be the distance from the centre to P, then

x² = 4² + 10² = 16 + 100 = 116 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{116} ≈ 10.77 cm (to 2 dec. places )

b

let the required angle be Θ, then

Using the sine or cosine ratio in the right triangle.

cosΘ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{116} }

Θ = cos^{-1} ( \frac{10}{\sqrt{116} } ) ≈ 21.8°

Hi, I am new to this website :) I'm currently taking an online trig class on De Moivre's theorem and I don't understand it at al
Vladimir [108]
De Moivre's theorem uses this general formula z = r(cos α + i<span> sin α) that is where we can have the form a + bi. If the given is raised to a certain number, then the r is raised to the same number while the angles are being multiplied by that number.

For 1) </span>[3cos(27))+isin(27)]^5 we first apply the concept I mentioned above where it becomes

[3^5cos(27*5))+isin(27*5)] and then after simplifying we get, [243 (cos (135) + isin (135))] 

it is then further simplified to 243 (-1/ √2) + 243i (1/√2) = -243/√2 + 243/<span>√2 i
and that is the answer.

For 2) </span>[2(cos(40))+isin(40)]^6, we apply the same steps in 1)

[2^6(cos(40*6))+isin(40*6)],

[64(cos(240))+isin(240)] = 64 (-1/2) + 64i (-√3 /2)

And the answer is -32 -32 √3 i

Summary:
1) -243/√2 + 243/√2 i
2)-32 -32 √3 i
