Why is is not possible to find the polar representation of the complex number 0?

You can very well represent it as a polar number. But the angle is ambiguous; or rather, any angle will work.

∙ 8y agoThe radius (distance from the origin) is zero, so the direction (angle) is unimportant. The angle uses the arctangent, which gives an error, since you are dividing by zero.

∙ 8y agoBecause the angle is indeterminate. If r = 0 then for any theta, rcos(theta) + i*rsin(theta) will be 0.

What complex number lies below the real axis and to the right of the imaginary axis?
Complex numbers whose polar representation is (r, theta) where 3*pi/2 < theta < 2*pi.
How do you convret polar form of complex number into algebraic form?
For a complex number in polar form with Magnitude, and Angle: (Magnitude)*(cos(angle) + i*sin(angle)) will give the form: a + bi
How do you convert the complex number minus i into polar form?
A COMPLEX NUMBER CAN BE CONVERTED INTO A POLAR FORM LET US TAKE COMPLEX NUMBER BE Z=a+ib a is the real number and b is the imaginary number THEN MOD OF Z IS SQUARE ROOT OF a2+b2 MOD OF Z CAN ALSO BE REPRESENTED BY r . THEN THE MOD AMPLITUDE FORM IS r(cos@Very interesting, but -i is not a complex no. it is a simple (imaginary) no. with no real part.
How do you convert a complex number from polar form into rectangular form?
If the polar coordinates of a complex number are (r,a) where r is the distance from the origin and a the angle made with the x axis, then the cartesian coordinates of the point are: x = r*cos(a) and y = r*sin(a)
What complex number is a number of the form a plus bi where?
"a + bi" is a common way to write a complex number. Here, "a" and "b" are real numbers.Another common way to write a complex number is in polar coordinates - basically specifying the distance from zero, and an angle.
Convert the following complex number into its polar representation: 2 + 2i?
2sqrt2(cos45 + i * sin45)
What complex number lies below the real axis and to the right of the imaginary axis?
Complex numbers whose polar representation is (r, theta) where 3*pi/2 < theta < 2*pi.
Why and what is principle argument of complex number?
A complex number (z = x + iy) can be plotted the x-y plane if we consider the complex number the point (x,y) (where x is the real part, and y is the imaginary part). So once you plot the complex number on the x-y plane, draw a line from the point to the origin. The Principle Argument of z (denoted by Arg z) is the measure of the angle from the x-axis to the line (made from connecting the point to (0,0)) in the interval (-pi, pi]. The difference between the arg z and Arg z is that arg z is an countably infinite set. And the Arg z is an element of arg z. Why? : The principle argument is needed to change a complex number in to polar representation. Polar representation makes multiplication of complex numbers very easy. z^2 is pretty simple: just multiply out (x+iy)(x+iy). But what about z^100? This is were polar represenation helps us, and to get into this representation we need the principle argument. I hope that helped.

How do you find square root of a complex number?
This is best done if the complex number is in polar coordinates - that is, a distance from the origin, and an angle. Take the square root of the argument (the absolute value) of the complex number; and half the angle.

True or false: When its argument is restricted to (0,2pi), the polar form of a complex number is not unique?
False apex
What are the parts of a complex number?
A complex number can be thought of as a vector with two components, called the "real part" (usually represented on the horizontal axis), and the "imaginary part" (usually represented on the vertical axis). You can also express the complex number in polar form, that is, with a a length and an angle.
Is the truest representation of the earth a polar projection?
Yes
