Formulas of the conversion from
algebraic to trigonometric form of the
complex number
The conversion from algebraic to trigonometric
form of the complex number is given by
|z|
=  ,
 |
(1.7)
|
If z
is purely imaginary number, then x
= 0, and  becomes
undefined. We emphasize these special
cases:
(1.8)
If y
= 0, then z
becomes a real number.
(1.9)
arg(z)
is indeterminate if x
= 0, y
= 0.

This example is more complicated.
Write a number z
= -sin+
i cos
in a form
z = |z|{cos
arg(z)
+i
sin
arg(z)}.
|z|
= =
 =
1.
arg(z)
=
+
because x<0,
y>0.
See (1.7)
| x
= - sin; |
y
= cos;
|
arg(z)
= arctan{cos()/(-sin()}
+
=
+
=  .
z
= cos
+i
sin.
We can get the same result geometrically.
Let us represent 2 points in the complex
plain:
a given point z
= -sin+
i cos
,
and a point z1
= cos+
i sin.
It is clear that arg(z)
=
=
,
so z
= cos
+i
sin.
