I dont know how to solve this expression in polar form, i got 14.3‹ -65.2*
You want to express it polar form
i.e z = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
r = |z| = √(x² + y²)
= √((-6)² + 13²)
= √(36 + 169)
= √205
tan θ = y/x = -13/6
basic θ = tan-¹(-13/6) ≈ -65.22° (2 d.p)
But -6 + 13i has a negative real component and a positive imaginary component. This means it lies in the top left portion of the axes (second quadrant)
So arg z = 180° - 65.22° = 114.78°
Therefore,
-6 + 13i = √205(cos 114.78° + i sin 114.78°)
≈ 14.32(cos 114.78° + i sin 114.78°)
14.32 ∠ 114.78°
