Final answer:

The given statement" z2 =2−i,x2 =2,y2 =−1→r 2=5,sin(θ)=−1/5 →θ2=−26,z 2 /z 1 =(2.5) 0.5 (cos(−71)+isin(−71)) is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression


\( (z_2)/(z_1) = (2.5)^(0.5) \cdot (\cos(-71) + i\sin(-71)) \)

involves complex numbers. To assess its truth, let's break down the components. Firstly,
\( z_2 \) is represented as ( 2 - i), and
\( z_1 \) is given as ( 2). Now, ( r²) is calculated as ( x² + y²), yielding ( r² = 5 ) when
\( x_2 = 2 \) and
\( y_2 = -1 \). This implies that (r ) is the square root of 5. Next,
\( \sin(\theta) \) is given as ( -1/5 ), which suggests
\( \theta_2 = -26 \) degrees.

Now,
\( (z_2)/(z_1) \) involves the division of
\( z_2 \) by
\( z_1 \). Substituting the values, we get


\( (2 - i)/(2) \)

Simplifying this, we find


\( (1 - (i)/(2)) \)

The polar form of this complex number is


\( (2.5)^(0.5) \cdot (\cos(-71) + i\sin(-71)) \) .

However, on calculating, the polar form turns out to be
\( (2.5)^(0.5) \cdot (\cos(109) + i\sin(109)) \) , not
\( (\cos(-71) + i\sin(-71)) \) as given.

Therefore, the original statement is false.
