Answer:
The rectangular form of z = 8 cos72° + 8 sin72° is z = (2.5 , 7.6)
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise how to change from polar form to rectangular form
- Cartesian Coordinates (x , y) and Polar Coordinates (r , θ)
- Where x = r cosФ , y = r sinФ
* To convert from Polar Coordinates (r , θ) to Cartesian Coordinates (x , y)
# x = r × cos( θ )
# y = r × sin( θ )
* In the problem
∵ z = 8 cos72° + 8 sin72°
∴ r = 8
∴ Ф = 72°
∵ x = r cosФ
∴ x = 8 cos72° = 2.5
∵ y = r cosФ
∴ y = 8 sin72° = 7.6
* The rectangular form of z = 8 cos72° + 8 sin72° is z = (2.5 , 7.6)
