This video is terrific. We all think that the basis are always clear, but without realising we end up doing calculations without thinking what everything means. Just a great way of explaining sir. Hands down.
“So I’m going to construct a unit circle here. So, construct a unit circle. So this right here is a unit circle, circle of radius one. So construct a... unit circle. That’s a unit circle.” Nice
Most Khan Academy videos are pretty slow paced. I only tend to use them when I really get stuck on something. But in case I do really get stuck, Khan Academy almost always makes me understand it.
i feel like in class its just taught to you as something just is the way it is, i rly appreciate these videos online that actually demonstrate the background explanation for why things are the way they are....like if something makes sense because of where it is derived from, then its like so much easier to remember thanks for the amazing vid :)
thank you so much. I never understood why the angle has so many different ways to calculate, considering if a or b are either positiv or negative. you are the man!
I learnt polar coördinates in the form of (r, Phi) (Phi = your Theta, guess that's not universal) which IMO makes it even clearer, you go 'r' away from (0,0) with an angle of Phi. Example: (r, phi) = (2, Pi) -> Z = -2 (+ 0i). (r, phi) = (sqrt 2, 1/4 Pi) -> Z = 1 + 1i . Thanks for your video, and I must admit, 720p + a new mic makes for a much better experience than your older complex number video's from 2008 ;-)
The part at 3:50 wasn't all that obvious to me. What made me "accept" the statement was thinking of the two triangles formed; they're uniform. And since the hypotenuse of the smaller one is 1, the x- and y-coordinates must be r*cos(theta) and r*sin(theta) respectively. The books I've had and have tend to show that this holds for right angle triangles (they don't even mention the unit circle) in the first quadrant, and then state that it holds for all quadrants (ie. not actually proving it). I'm not sure whether it's me or the books, I refuse to accept things without solid proof. Thank you for the video :)
Question: how would you find the modulus argument form of JUST a real number or JUST an imaginary number (ie: -20 or 3i)? My textbook has questions like these but I have no idea how to go about solving it?? I thought I was good at maths lmao

You have 1 hour and 40 minutes of class 🤯🤯

7:40 the angle is actually from x axis right side to the complex argument clockwise thts why its pi+the angle

The reason for using r cis (θ) was not explained by my textbook in a way that made sense to me. This video helped a lot.
Wow the explanation is very clear, thank you so much sir, you really helped me!
How do we go back to the (a+bi) form?
The explanation for deriving theta can be much simplified if r was calculated first,and then use the definition of tan theta to derive theta.
Straight and clear explanation. I would have loved it before we first used the polar form in geophysics :D

Its because of similar triangles
If triangles have equal angles they are similar and that means that ratio of sides are equal
Thank you, it was very helpful. For me, finding theta would have registered better in degrees, idk if anyone else feels that way.
THANKD MUCH FOR ALL OF THE LESSONS!!
7:50 my own learning checkpoint
This finally lit the light bulb. Thank you
this was soo good! thanks
since pi is 180 you're supposed to subtract not add
Working from the problem is key
I was lost at -0.59 + pi. Why wasn't the calculator correct? Something about needing to shift by adding pi, but that was confusing to me.
Like the new mic.
Does he have a video on Polar to Cartesian?
Thank you again, your videos can be a Godsend at times. :-)
Hahaha "counter cockwise" at 11:50.
Great video though, very helpful
Yeahh XD
omg i don't understand where is the issue
Sir , you could have used triangle of vector addition,and resolution of r into 2 components.
Some trig books would abbreviate the last part as sqrt(13)CIS(2.55).
Liberal arts have taken over the term CIS for Cisgender.
They added new function “trans” to coexist with CIS
This has been very helpful, thanks.
Pause at 3.20. Think.
Ngl, I upvote all Khan Academy videos before watching them because I already know they're going to be good

well the argument of just a real number would be zero and the argument of just a complex number would be 1/2pi as they're just sitting on their axis
@@Klikmac my question is since the real number is negative, then it is on the -ve part of real axis, is the angle pi??
Thank you for saving my life
Well.. In terms of understanding... I lost it from 2:06....
But I can surely say that whatever happened after that IS really interesting... ✌
Amazing 😊😊
thanks Sal...
excellent video , hugely helpful **
is it okay to do this in degrees or does it need to be done in radians?
11:50
this was very helpful...thank you :)
how did you know to add pi to theta
Is this the same when working out British numbers?
thanks but I GOT ISSUES ON TRIGONOMETRICS AS WELL I WILL SURELY WATCH IT AGAIN AFTER A TRIG REVIEW
thanks so much :)
I love you Sal Khan
Hey, anyone.....at 3:41, Khan said that x is sin and y is cos. I thought that it was the other way around.
GGGGGGreat explanation sir
Couldn't we use inverse sin or cosine to find theta??
Where does the e come into this? Like re^(i theta)?
What program do you use?
And...stop laughing at his 11:50....very mature TH-cam...very mature.
can we now figure out what r and theta R?
Lol im so immature as soon as I heard counter cockwise I rushed to the comment section to make sure I wasn't just hearing things.
How did you get cos(theta) is it same as cos(pi - theta)
I don't know why did you put the angel in rad should it be tan -1(-2/3) = -33.6 degree right away ?!!
No, Precalculus is part of Calculus and in calculus you use radians for the trig functions
He did it because it’s counterCOCKwise
i(t) = 20·cos(18570·t − 2.8798) how to get rectangular of this?
Why can't you just get theta right away by doing theta = arctan2/3 then pie -arctan2/3 = 2.55?
woah

how come its cos teta is that not the tan quadrant?
Hi, is a complex number always relative to the origin
I think yes, sorry a little late (4 yrs late 😂)
@@furqaanilahi8078 is ok, it wasn't the right question 😉

Honestly it looks like it's MS Paint
I don't get it try and do this question why is every e.g. Got - as the real number and not plus instead. Try z equals to 5 plus 2j.
