its called an Argument of z

Question 23

how do you multiply complex numbers in polar form
(works in reverse for division)

Answer 23

you multiply the moduli(|z|, or r) and add the arguments(theta)

if z = r(cosA + jsinA)
and w = u(cosB = jsinB)
z*w = ru(cos(B+A) + jsin(B+A))

Question 24

z^n = ?

Answer 24

z^n = r^n(cos(nA) + jsin(nA))
if n is an integer

or you can just do the foil in regular form and you get
z^2 = x^2 - y^2 + 2xyj

Question 25

how do you find complex nth routes?

Answer 25

Let z = r(cosA + jsinA) be nonzero, and let n be a positive integer. Than the n distinct nth roots of z are given by w = r^(1/n)(cos((A+2piK)/n) + jsin ((A+2piK)/n)) for k = 0, 1,…, n-1.
