Answer:
Standard Complex Form :
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to rewrite this expression in standard complex form. Let's first evaluate cos(5π / 6). Remember that cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x). Therefore,
cos(5π / 6) = sin(π / 2 - 5π / 6),
π / 2 - 5π / 6 = - π / 3,
sin(- π / 3) = - sin(π / 3)
And we also know that sin(π / 3) = √3 / 2. So - sin(π / 3) = - √3 / 2 = cos(5π / 6).
Now let's evaluate the sin(5π / 6). Similar to cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x), sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x). So, sin(5π / 6) = cos(- π / 3). Now let's further simplify from here,
cos(- π / 3) = cos(π / 3)
We know that cos(π / 3) = 1 / 2. So, sin(5π / 6) = 1 / 2
Through substitution we receive the expression 25( - √3 / 2 + i(1 / 2) ). Further simplification results in the following expression. <u>As you can see your solution is option a.</u>
I'm going to assume you've learn sin, cos, and tan. To find a you must do:
Once you find a, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find b:
Or you can do:
You can find these functions on a scientific calculator. Let me now if you need more help.
