Answer:

z = -17.67 + i3.43

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula z = r(cos Ф + i sin Ф), given 18(cos169° + isin169°) -

z = 18( cos169 + isin169 ),

z = r(cos Ф + i sin Ф)

Now we can solve this question in the form z = a + bi, in this case where a = 18 cos169, and b = 18 sin169. This is as a = r cos Ф and b = r sin Ф -

sin169 is positive, while cos169 is negative, thus -

a = -17.6692893021...,

b = 3.43456191678...

Rectangular Form, z = -17.67 + i3.43

Hope that helps!
