Complex Angles
1. The problem is to express each complex number $z_k = x + yi$ in the form $\cos \theta + i \sin \theta$, where $\theta$ is the argument (angle) of the complex number.
2. Recall that for a complex number $z = x + yi$, the argument $\theta$ satisfies:
$$\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r}, \quad \sin \theta = \frac{y}{r}$$
where $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ is the modulus of $z$. Since all given points lie on the unit circle ($r=1$), we have $\cos \theta = x$ and $\sin \theta = y$.
3. We find $\theta$ by identifying the angle whose cosine and sine match the coordinates $(x,y)$.

**1) For** $z_1 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} i$:
- $x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, $y = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- This corresponds to $\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and $\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- The angle with these values is $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$
- So, $z_1 = \cos \frac{\pi}{4} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{4}$
**2) For** $z_2 = -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i$:
- $x = -\frac{1}{2}$, $y = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
- $\cos \theta = -\frac{1}{2}$, $\sin \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
- This corresponds to $\theta = -\frac{2\pi}{3}$ (or equivalently $\theta = \frac{4\pi}{3}$)
- So, $z_2 = \cos \left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + i \sin \left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)$
**3) For** $z_3 = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} i$:
- $x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, $y = \frac{1}{2}$
- $\cos \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}$
- This corresponds to $\theta = \frac{5\pi}{6}$
- So, $z_3 = \cos \frac{5\pi}{6} + i \sin \frac{5\pi}{6}$
**4) For** $z_4 = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} i$:
- $x = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, $y = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- $\cos \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, $\sin \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- This corresponds to $\theta = -\frac{3\pi}{4}$ (or equivalently $\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4}$)
- So, $z_4 = \cos \left(-\frac{3\pi}{4}\right) + i \sin \left(-\frac{3\pi}{4}\right)$
**5) For** $z_5 = i$:
- $x = 0$, $y = 1$
- $\cos \theta = 0$, $\sin \theta = 1$
- This corresponds to $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$
- So, $z_5 = \cos \frac{\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{2}$
