this is the same as

$
4 + 4i - 1
$

which factors to

$
(2+i)(2+i)$

or $(2+i)^2$

which $\sqrt{(2+i)^2} = \pm(2+i )$

zorro, Do you ever try to do any of the many problems that you post?
I have not seen any evidence of your work.

4. But how should i find the amplitute $\theta$ = $tan^{-1} \left( \frac{y}{x} \right)$ = $tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)$= ?

5. ok latex error went away

Amplitude is the magnitude of change in an oscillating variable

6. No i want to know what would th amplitute be .........there is no problem with the latex

7. $\sqrt{\left(3+4i\right)}=\sqrt{5e^{i\theta+2\pi}}= \sqrt{5}e^{i\frac{\theta}{2}+\pi},\theta=\arctan\l eft(\frac{3}{4}\right).$

8. i know that mite i want ot know the value of $\theta$ , i need to find the cos and sin value with it ......

9. You have a triangle rectangle which sides are $3$ and $4$. Hipotenuse?

i am not getting it mite ...........the reason i am not getting is because i need the value of $\theta$..............and ur giving me clues which i can get it ..........

You don't need the value of $\theta=\arctan\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$, 'cause that means $\cos\theta=\frac{4}{5},\sin\theta=\frac{3}{5}$.

12. No u are not getting it i want to express this in polar form ........

13. 3+4i=5(cos(38.86...+2pi*k)* + isin(36.86...+2pi*k)*)=5cis(36.86... +2pi*k)*

square root of above can be calculate with de Moivre formula.

Actually it's $2 + i$ or $-(2 + i)$.

15. could anybody tell me what is the polar form of this equation ............
