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 (
) of the complex
number. The polar form is r⬔
.
• Example 1: To determine the absolute value (r) and argument (
) of
3 + 4i (Angle unit: Deg) (r =
5
,

°) A a R 3 + 4 i T <
•The complex number can also be input using the polar form r⬔
.
• Example 2: 2 ⬔ 45

kRectangular Form ↔ Polar Form Display
You can use the operation described below to convert a rectangular form
complex number to its polar form, and a polar form complex number to its
rectangular form. Press A r to toggle the display between the absolute
value (r) and argument (
).
• Example: 1
