B. [tex]\(9\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(3\left(\cos \frac{3\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{3\pi}{2}\right)\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(9\left(\cos \frac{3\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{3\pi}{2}\right)\)[/tex]



Answer :

To express the complex number [tex]\(-9\)[/tex] in polar form, we need to determine its modulus and argument.

1. Modulus Calculation (r):
The modulus of a complex number [tex]\( z = a + bi \)[/tex] is given by [tex]\( |z| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \)[/tex].
For the given number [tex]\(-9\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ a = -9, \quad b = 0 \][/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\[ |z| = \sqrt{(-9)^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{81} = 9 \][/tex]

2. Argument Calculation ([tex]\(\theta\)[/tex]):
The argument [tex]\(\theta\)[/tex] is the angle made with the positive real axis. It can be calculated using the atan2 function. For a purely real negative number:
[tex]\[ \theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{3\pi}{2} \][/tex]

3. Polar Form Representation:
The polar form of a complex number is given by:
[tex]\[ z = r (\cos \theta + i \sin \theta) \][/tex]
Substituting the calculated values [tex]\( r = 9 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \theta = \frac{3\pi}{2} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ z = 9\left( \cos \frac{3\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{3\pi}{2} \right) \][/tex]

Therefore, the polar form of [tex]\(-9\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ 9\left(\cos \frac{3 \pi}{2}+i \sin \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right) \][/tex]

Among the given choices, this corresponds to:
\[
\boxed{9\left(\cos \frac{3 \pi}{2}+i \sin \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)}
\
