Q. z=89i z=8-9 i \newlineFind the angle θ \theta (in radians) that z z makes in the complex plane. Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth. Express θ \theta between π -\pi and π \pi .\newlineθ= \theta=
  1. Identify Complex Number: Identify the real and imaginary parts of the complex number zz.z=89iz = 8 - 9i, where 88 is the real part and 9-9 is the imaginary part.
  2. Calculate Angle Theta: Calculate the angle theta using the arctangent function. The angle theta in the complex plane is given by the arctangent of the imaginary part divided by the real part, which is arctan(98)\arctan\left(\frac{-9}{8}\right).
  3. Find Value of Theta: Use a calculator to find the value of theta. θ=arctan(98)0.844\theta = \arctan\left(-\frac{9}{8}\right) \approx -0.844 radians (rounded to the nearest thousandth).
  4. Adjust Theta Range: Adjust the angle θ\theta to be within the range π-\pi to π\pi. Since π<θ<π-\pi < \theta < \pi and 0.844-0.844 is already within this range, no adjustment is necessary.
