Find the polar form of $$$i$$$.

Solution

The standard form of the complex number is $$$i$$$.

For a complex number $$$a + b i$$$, the polar form is given by $$$r \left(\cos{\left(\theta \right)} + i \sin{\left(\theta \right)}\right)$$$, where $$$r = \sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}$$$ and $$$\theta = \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{b}{a} \right)}$$$.

We have that $$$a = 0$$$ and $$$b = 1$$$.

Thus, $$$r = \sqrt{0^{2} + 1^{2}} = 1$$$.

Also, $$$\theta = \operatorname{atan}{\left(\frac{1}{0} \right)} = \frac{\pi}{2}$$$.

Therefore, $$$i = \cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)} + i \sin{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)}$$$.

Answer

$$$i = \cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)} + i \sin{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)} = \cos{\left(90^{\circ} \right)} + i \sin{\left(90^{\circ} \right)}$$$A
