Polar Form of Complex Numbers Trigonometry Form
Definition (Trigonometric Form)
The trigonometric form of z = x +i y is z = r (cosθ +i sinθ) where ar g(z) = θ and ∥z∥ = r.

Trigonometry and complex number
1 For a complex number z = x + yi we can write the trigonometric representation z =
r(cosθ∗
+ i sinθ∗
), where r ∈ [0,∞) and θ∗
∈ [0,2π) are the polar coordinates of the
geometric image of z.

r(cosθ∗
+ i sinθ∗
2 The polar argument θ∗
of the geometric image of z is called the argument of z, denoted
by argz.

r(cosθ∗
+ i sinθ∗
by argz.
3 The polar radius r of the geometric image of z is equal to the modulus of z.

r(cosθ∗
+ i sinθ∗
by argz.
3 The polar radius r of the geometric image of z is equal to the modulus of z.
4 The set Ar gz = {θ : θ∗
+2kπ, k ∈ Z} is called the extended argument of the complex
number z. Then
z = r(cosθ +i sinθ) = z = r[cos

Polar Form of Complex Numbers Exponential Form
Euler and De Moivre’s Form
Definition (Euler’s equation)
The relation
eiθ
= cosθ +i sinθ (8)
is called Euler’s equation.

The relation
eiθ
is called Euler’s equation. Thus, if z ∈ C−{0}
(Trigonometric form) z = r(cosθ +i sinθ) ⇐⇒ (Exponential form): z = reiθ
.

The relation
eiθ
is called Euler’s equation. Thus, if z ∈ C−{0}
(Trigonometric form) z = r(cosθ +i sinθ) ⇐⇒ (Exponential form): z = reiθ
.
Also, because any two arguments for a give complex number differ by an integer multiple
of 2π we will sometimes write the exponential form as,
z = rei(θ+2πk)
, k = 0,±1,±2,··· (9)

Forms
1 Standard form : z = x +i y
2 Trigonometric form : z = r(cosθ +i sinθ) where r = ∥z∥ and arg(z) = θ +2kπ.
3 Exponential form: z = reiθ
where r = ∥z∥ and arg(z) = θ +2kπ.

Forms
1 Standard form : z = x +i y
2 Trigonometric form : z = r(cosθ +i sinθ) where r = ∥z∥ and arg(z) = θ +2kπ.
3 Exponential form: z = reiθ
where r = ∥z∥ and arg(z) = θ +2kπ.
Example
z = 2+2i
p
3 has modulus ∥z∥ = 4 and argument θ = π/3.
Therefore,
z = 4eiπ/3
(10)
is its exponential form.

De Moivre’s and Euler

For all real number θ and all integer n,

(cos3(π/3)+i sin3(π/3)) (19)
z3
= 64(cos(π)+i sin(π)) (20)
z3
= −64 (21)

zn

(cosnθ +i sinnθ) (18)
z3

(cos3(π/3)+i sin3(π/3)) (19)
