You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you draw it out on a coordinate grid, using the x-axis for reals and the y-axis for imaginary parts you will put a point at (5,-12).\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+theta+=+tan%5E-1%28-12%2F5%29+=+-67.38%5Eo+\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And the modulus (magnitude or radius for polar form) is equal to the hypotenuse of the drawn triangle:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt%285%5E2+%2B+%28-12%29%5E2%29+=+13+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Putting these together:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+highlight%28+z+=+13+%28cos%28-67.38%5Eo%29+%2B+i+%2A+sin%28-67.38%5Eo%29%29+%29+\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Noting that -67.38 degrees (CW rotation of 67.38 degrees) is the same as a CCW rotation of 292.62 degrees, you can write:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+highlight%28+z+=+13+%28cos%28292.62%5Eo%29+%2B+i+%2A+sin%28292.62%5Eo%29%29+%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "While the negative angle might be a little more common, both answers should be acceptable.\r
