Find the modulus of each of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in polar form:
= -i - 1
Let Z = -1 - i = r(cosθ + isinθ)
Now , separating real and complex part , we get
-1 = rcosθ ……….eq.1
-1 = rsinθ …………eq.2
Squaring and adding eq.1 and eq.2, we get
2 = r2
Since r is always a positive no., therefore,
r = √2,
hence its modulus is √2.
now , dividing eq.2 by eq.1 , we get,
tanθ = 1
Since ,
and tanθ = 1 . therefore the θ lies in third quadrant.
Tanθ = 1, therefore
Representing the complex no. in its polar form will be
