Hi. I just did these question but I am very unsecure about the answers. I am pretty sure that its wrong but I dont know why exactly. Please help!
Rewrite to polar form re ^ iθ, where θ is an angle in radians
Rewrite the complex number to polar form r<θ, where θ is in degrees
I'm unfamiliar with the notation used in the last one, so I can't comment on that one
On the -5i one....think about where the terminal point of this angle lies.....it's on the y axis, 5 units "down" from the origin in the "imaginary" direction {pardon the non-math terms, here}
So, the correct angle should be -pi.2, not pi/2......

I.
$$\\\small{\text{\ $z = -3$}}\\
\small{\text{ $a=-3, \ b = 0 $}}\\
\small{\text{ $r=\sqrt{(-3)^2+0^2} = 3$}} \\
\small{\text{ $a < 0, \ b=0:\quad$ $\phi=\arctan{( \frac{b}{a} )} + \pi

II.
$$\\\small{\text{\ $z = 1-i$}}\\
\small{\text{ $a=1, \ b = -1$}}\\
\small{\text{ $r=\sqrt{(1)^2+(-1)^2} = \sqrt{2}$}} \\

III.
$$\\\small{\text{\ $z = -5i$}}\\
\small{\text{ $a=0, \ b = -5$}}\\
\small{\text{ $r=\sqrt{(0)^2+(-5)^2} = 5$}} \\

\small{\text{$\textcolor[rgb]{1,0,0}{z = -5i = 5e^{-\frac{ \pi }{2} i}}$}}$$
Thanks everyone!
Now its just the last one that I cant figure out if its right or wrong:
z = a+bi --> r and θ (degrees)
z = conjugate(4+2i) = 4-2i
r = lzl = √(a^2 + b^2) = √4^2+(-2i)^2 = √4^2+2^2 = √16+4 = √20 = 4,47
b < 0 and a > 0
θ = tan-1(b/a) + pi = tan-1(-2/4) + pi = -23,42 degrees
4,47 and -23,42 degrees
Now its just the last one that I cant figure out if its right or wrong:
z = a+bi --> r and θ (degrees)
z = conjugate(4+2i) = 4-2i
$$\small{\text{$\boxed{r=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\qquad\phi= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}\arctan{( \frac{b}{a} )}, & a > 0 \text{ and } b \text{ whatever!} \\ \\\arctan{( \frac{b}{a} )} + \pi , & a < 0 \text{ and } b \ge 0 \\\\\arctan{( \frac{b}{a} )} - \pi , & a < 0 \text{ and } b < 0 \\\\\frac{ \pi }{2}, & a = 0 \text{ and } b > 0 \\\\-\frac{ \pi }{2}, & a = 0 \text{ and } b < 0 \\\\\end{array}\right.}$}}$$
$$\\\small{\text{\ $z = 4-2i$}}\\
\small{\text{ $a=4, \ b = -2$}}\\
\small{\text{ $r=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-2)^2} = \sqrt{20}=4.47$}} \\
