Ex:           Express in rectangular and polar form.
Ans:        
Sol'n:      Use Euler's formula to write each complex number in rectangular form a + jb:
                       
                       
                       
                  Sum the real and imaginary parts:
                       
                  Our answer in rectangular form:
                       
                  Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude for polar form:
                       
                  Use tangent of phase angle = Im/Re to find angle for polar form:
                       
                  Our answer in polar form:
