How do you write the complex number in the form a + bi when given the expression (5/2) * (cos 150° + i sin 150°)?
To express the complex number (5/2) * (cos(150°) + i sin(150°)) in the form a + bi, we first need to evaluate the trigonometric functions involved. The angle 150° is located in the second quadrant of the unit circle. Its cosine and sine values are: cos(150°) = -√3/2 sin(150°) = 1/2 Next, we can substitute … Read more
