Complex numbers in the polar form: module and argument
Write in polar form $4-9i$ and $37+18i$.
To write a binomial number in polar form, we must calculate its module and its argument. By means of the formula proposed we have:
$$|4-9i|=\sqrt{4^2+9^2}=\sqrt{16+81}=\sqrt{97}$$
$$\alpha=\arctan(\dfrac{-9}{4})$$
This way: $$ 4-9i= \sqrt{97}_{\arctan(-\frac{9}{4})}$$
and with the second one,
$$|37+18i|=\sqrt{37^2+18^2}=\sqrt{1369+324}=\sqrt{1693}$$
$$\alpha=\arctan(\dfrac{18}{37})$$
This way: $$ 37+18i= \sqrt{1693}_{\arctan(-\frac{18}{37})}$$
$4-9i= \sqrt{97}_{\arctan(-\frac{9}{4})} \$ and $\ 37+18i= \sqrt{1693}_{\arctan(-\frac{18}{37})}$
