1. Example-1





1. `A=5+6i`
Find Exponential form of complex number


Solution:
Here `A=5+6i`

For a complex number `z=a+bi`, the exponential form `r*e^(i*theta)`

where `r=sqrt(a^2+b^2)` and `theta=atan(b/a)`


Here, `a=5` and `b=6`

`:. r=sqrt(5^2+6^2)=sqrt(25+36)=sqrt(61)=7.8102`

`theta=atan(b/a)` (Since `a>0`)

`:. theta=atan((6)/(5))`

`:. theta=atan(1.2)`

`:. theta=50.1944 ^circ` or `theta=0.8761` rad

The exponential form is `r*e^(i*theta)`

`=7.8102*e^(i(50.1944))` (in degree)

`=7.8102*e^(i(0.8761))` (in radian)
2. `A=-2+3i`
Find Exponential form of complex number


Solution:
Here `A=-2+3i`

For a complex number `z=a+bi`, the exponential form `r*e^(i*theta)`

where `r=sqrt(a^2+b^2)` and `theta=atan(b/a)`


Here, `a=-2` and `b=3`

`:. r=sqrt((-2)^2+3^2)=sqrt(4+9)=sqrt(13)=3.6056`

`theta=atan(b/a)+180` (Since `a<0`)

`:. theta=atan((3)/(-2))+180`

`:. theta=atan(-1.5)+180`

`:. theta=-56.3099+180`

`:. theta=123.6901 ^circ` or `theta=2.1588` rad

The exponential form is `r*e^(i*theta)`

`=3.6056*e^(i(123.6901))` (in degree)

`=3.6056*e^(i(2.1588))` (in radian)
3. `A=1-3i`
Find Exponential form of complex number


Solution:
Here `A=1-3i`

For a complex number `z=a+bi`, the exponential form `r*e^(i*theta)`

where `r=sqrt(a^2+b^2)` and `theta=atan(b/a)`


Here, `a=1` and `b=-3`

`:. r=sqrt(1^2+(-3)^2)=sqrt(1+9)=sqrt(10)=3.1623`

`theta=atan(b/a)` (Since `a>0`)

`:. theta=atan((-3)/(1))`

`:. theta=atan(-3)`

`:. theta=-71.5651 ^circ` or `theta=-1.249` rad

The exponential form is `r*e^(i*theta)`

`=3.1623*e^(i(-71.5651))` (in degree)

`=3.1623*e^(i(-1.249))` (in radian)
