kAbsolute Value and Argument
Calculation
Supposing the imaginary number expressed by the rectangular form z = a + bi is represented as a point in the Gaussian plane, you can determine the absolute value (r) and argument (θ ) of the complex number. The polar form is rθ.
•Example 1: To determine the absolute value (r) and
argument (θ) of 3+4i (Angle unit: Deg)
(r = 5, θ = 53.13010235°)
