$ ext{Find the Real Part of a Complex Number on the Unit Circle}$

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Ava Martin

Consider a complex number $z$ on the unit circle in the complex plane. The unit circle can be represented as $|z| = 1$. If $z = e^{i\theta}$, find the real part of $z$.

Solution:

Since $z = e^{i\theta}$, we can use Euler’s formula, which states:

$e^{i\theta} = \cos \theta + i \sin \theta$

The real part of $z$ is therefore:

$ \cos \theta $

Given that a complex number $z$ is on the unit circle, such that $|z| = 1$ and $z = e^{i heta}$, we need to determine the real part of $z$.

Solution:

Using Euler’s formula:

$ z = e^{i heta} = cos heta + i sin heta $

The real part of $z$ is:

$cos heta$

If a complex number $z$ lies on the unit circle, $|z| = 1$, and $z = e^{i heta}$, then find the real part of $z$.

Solution:

Using Euler’s formula:

$ z = e^{i heta} = cos heta + i sin heta $

The real part of $z$ is:

$cos heta$
