Math Problem Statement

Convert 6(cos3π4+isin3π4) to rectangular form.

Solution

To convert the given complex number in polar form 6(cos3π4+isin3π4)6\left(\cos \frac{3\pi}{4} + i\sin \frac{3\pi}{4}\right) to rectangular form, we need to evaluate the trigonometric functions and then multiply by the magnitude.

Given: z=6(cos3π4+isin3π4)z = 6\left(\cos \frac{3\pi}{4} + i\sin \frac{3\pi}{4}\right)

Step 1: Evaluate cos3π4\cos \frac{3\pi}{4} and sin3π4\sin \frac{3\pi}{4}

cos3π4=22\cos \frac{3\pi}{4} = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} sin3π4=22\sin \frac{3\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step 2: Substitute these values into the equation

z=6(22+i22)z = 6\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + i\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)

Step 3: Distribute the magnitude 6

z=6(22)+6(i22)z = 6 \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) + 6 \cdot \left(i\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) z=32+3i2z = -3\sqrt{2} + 3i\sqrt{2}

Final Answer

The rectangular form of the given complex number is: z=32+3i2z = -3\sqrt{2} + 3i\sqrt{2}
