- [math]7.8 + 1.4i[/math]
- [math]1.4 + 1.0 i[/math]
- [math]1.4 + 7.8i[/math]

- [math]5.7 - 0.3 i[/math]
- [math]5.7 - 1.9i[/math]
- [math]5.7 + 1.9i[/math]
- [math]1.9 - 5.7i[/math]
7.
Let the following graph represent the complex plane (assume that x is the real axis and y is the imaginary axis). Let [math]z = 4+3i[/math] be the complex number represented by the letter I.

A.
What is the distance from I to the origin? Let [math]alpha[/math] represent this value.
- [math]alpha = 5[/math]
- [math]alpha = 2sqrt(5)[/math]
- [math]alpha = 4[/math]
- [math]alpha = 3[/math]
B.
If a line is drawn between I and the origin, what is the angle between this line and the positive x-axis, starting from the x-axis and going in a counterclockwise direction? Let [math]beta[/math] represent this angle.
- [math]beta = 45.0°[/math]
- [math]beta = 53.1°[/math]
- [math]beta = 36.9°[/math]
- [math]beta = 48.6°[/math]
C.
What are the polar coordinates of the complex number [math]z ?[/math]
- [math] (4, 30.2°)[/math]
- [math] (5, 36.9°)[/math]
- [math] (5, 53.1°)[/math]
- [math] (4, 53.1°)[/math]
D.
What is the significance of the answers in parts a and b compared to part c? Choose the best answer.
- They are similar, since the geometry of the complex plane is closely related to the polar coordinates of a complex number.
- They are the same. This is only a phenomenon of the first quadrant though; for a complex number in any other quadrant, these values would be different.
- They are the same, since [math]alpha[/math] represents the modulus of [math]z[/math], and [math]beta[/math] represents the argument of [math]z.[/math]
- Any similarity or equality is pure chance; there is no relationship between these values.
