We have the complex number of negative 1 minus i, and we want to pop this complex number on the two axes, and then we want to find the polar form of this.
00:15
Plotting it on the axes is important to us so that we make sure we get the correct angle, and we can make sure we are in the right quadrant for our angle.
00:26
So when we're doing this, we've got the form a plus b, i.
00:30
A is the real part, which goes on the horizontal axis.
00:34
B is the imaginary part, which goes on the vertical axis.
00:39
So a is negative 1, and b is negative 1 as well.
00:53
And so our plot is that point right there.
00:58
Now, the polar form is using the radius, r, which is the absolute value of our complex number.
01:09
And then we need theta, which is the angle that this makes.
01:13
Makes with the positive real axis, which i'm going to go in the counterclockwise direction for identifying theta.
01:23
So to do this, r is the absolute value of our number.
01:29
So that's the square root of a squared plus b squared.
01:36
So negative one squared plus negative one squared.
01:39
So that's a square root of one plus one.
01:42
So r is the square root of two...
