Trigonometric Form

In this article, we will learn the relationship between complex no and trigonometry.

Table of Content
  •  

Complex number multiplication is more difficult than simple number addition. We start by looking at the trigonometric (or polar) form of a complex number to better grasp the product. This trigonometric form links algebra and trigonometry and can be used to compute the powers and roots of complex numbers quickly and conveniently.

Trigonometry form of a complex number

A complex number in trigonometric form. A complex number’s trigonometric form is z = a + bi. 

z = r(cosc+ i sinc), where r = |a + bi| is z’s modulus and tanc = b/a

Let z = ( x + i y ) be the complex number.

( r, c) is the polar form.

R=√x2+y2

C= arc tan(y/x)

r ( cosc+ isinc) = trigonometric form

Trigonometry form =r(cosc+isinc)

If z=a+bi is a complex number. Let r be the magnitude of z (that is, the distance between z and the origin) and the angle z makes with the positive real axis in this case.

Write a and b in terms of r and use right triangle trigonometry.

Explain why z can be written as

z=r(cos(θ)+isin(θ)).

We say z is expressed in trigonometric form when we write it in the manner 

The real number r is the modulus or norm, and the angle is called the argument of the complex number z.

The given above circular functions, sometimes known as trigonometric functions, can be simply described as functions of a triangle’s angle. This means we prove that these trigonometry functions determine the relationship between the angles and sides of a triangle. The Sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant are the basic trigonometric functions. Read about trigonometric identities as well.

Identities of Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant Formulas

There are several trigonometric formulas and identities that denote the relationship between functions and aid in the determination of triangle angles. All of these trigonometric functions, along with their formulas, are presented in detail here to help readers comprehend them.

The sine, cosine, and tangent are the most extensively utilised trigonometric functions in modern mathematics. The cosecant, secant, and cotangent are their reciprocals, which are less commonly employed. Each of these six trigonometric functions has an inverse function, as well as a hyperbolic function analogue.

Only acute angles are defined in the first definitions of trigonometric functions, which are connected to right-angle triangles. Geometrical definitions employing the conventional unit circle (i.e., a circle with a radius 1 unit) are frequently used to extend the sine and cosine functions to functions whose domain is the entire real line; then the domain of the other functions is the real line with some isolated points removed. 

Complex numbers are those that are written as a+ib, where a,b are real numbers and I is an imaginary number known as “iota.” (-1) is the value of i. 2+3i is a complex number, for example, because 2 is a real number (Re) and 3i is an imaginary number (Im).

A complex number is a number that combines both real and imaginary numbers.

Complex numbers include the following:

The letters I or ‘j,’ which are equivalent to -1, are commonly used to denote imaginary numbers. As a result, the imaginary number’s square has a negative value.

Because I = -1, i2 = -1.

These numbers are most commonly used to illustrate periodic motions like sea waves.

A complex number is a component of a number system that includes real numbers and a specific element labelled I sometimes known as the imaginary unit, and which obeys the equation i2 = 1. Furthermore, every complex number may be written as a + bi, where a and b are both real values. René Descartes dubbed me an imaginary number since no real number can satisfy the following equation. The real component of the complex number a + bi is called the real part, and the imaginary part is called the imaginary part. Despite their historical label of “imaginary,” complex numbers are regarded as “real” in the mathematical sciences.

Convert to trigonometry form

1. Convert 8i into trigonometry form:

This is the complex number’s trigonometric form, where | z | is the modulus and is the angle generated on the complex plane.

Z=a+ib = |z|cosc+isinc

The distance from the origin on the complex plane is the modulus of a complex number.

| z | = √a2 + b2, where z = a + bi

Substitute the correct numbers for a = 0 and b = 8.

Z=√82

Z=8

Find |z|

The inverse tangent of the value the complex component over the real portion is the angle of the point on the complex plane.

C= arc(-8/0)

Because the argument is undefined and b is unknown,

C= 3π/2

Substitute the value of c = 3π/2 and |z|=8

8(cos3π/2+isin3π\2)

Question 2. -4+4i

We’ll need r and to write the number in trigonometric form.

r =√16+16

r= 4√2

Tan c = 4/-4=-1

C= 3π/4

Quadrant II requires an angle, thus (we can see this by graphing the complex number

=-4+4i= 4√2(cos3π/2+isin3π/2)

Trigonometry complex number formula

A complex number is defined as an equation of the form z= a+ib, where a and b are real numbers. Re z = a denotes the real part, while Im z = ib denotes the imaginary part.

A Complex Number in Trigonometric Form. A complex number’s trigonometric form is z = a + bi. z = r(cos + I sin), where r = |a + bi| is z’s modulus and tan = b.a

Conclusion

In this article, we have gone through various trigonometry concepts and it’s relationship between complex no. We have also seen the conversion of trigonometry form from complex no. We have gone through various trigonometry complex formula which will help in better understanding.

Ans. Complex Numbers in Trigonometric Form

Explanation: A positive or negative real number has an argument equal to zero:

As a result, it is 2 cosπ + isinπ

If sin = 0, the number is real; if cos = -1, the number is negative.
