The point D has polar coordinates ( 6, 3π/4). Find the Cartesian coordinates of D.

We know that r= 6 and θ = 3π/4 as it is given in the question. We can then use the identities: x= rcosθ and y= rsinθ to find the x and y coordinates which are the Cartesian coordinates. So, x= rcosθ = 6cos(3π/4)= -3√2 and y= rsinθ= 6sin(3π/4) = 3√2 . Therefore, the Cartesian coordinates on D are (-3√2, 3√2).

The complex number -2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(6)I can be expressed in the form rexp(iTheta), where r>0 and -pi < theta <= pi. By using the form rexp(iTheta) solve the equation z^5 = -2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(6)i.

Determine if these two vectors are perpendicular. a=[1,4,8], b=[0,6,-3]
