Complex number notation - transform from rectangular to polar - mlpalacios8 - 10-31-2014 07:56 AM

Hello


Simple question here.

How do I transform a complex number from the rectangular a+i*b notation to the r<ยข notation (polar notation) in the HP Prime CAS. [/code]

Thanks

Only in Home mode: enter coordinates then use [shift] [X] to switch between the coordinate type (in the history screen). Shift X is the angle sign.

Shift X is also fine to enter polar number :

100 Shift X 45

polar_coordinates

Many thanks for the responses

The CAS command polar_coordinates worked like a charm!
