Hi, we did some simple excersizes with rectangular and polar coordinates and are now tasked with using matlab to do the calculations for us. This is my senior year in engineering and I haven't really used much Matlab since my freshmen year so it's a bit of a struggle. I have managed to get all of the other problem s in Matlab but am stuck with this last one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance:
Perform the operation using polar coordinates, and express the result in standard rectangular form: (2+j)^2
I used the following function to convert 2+j to polar coordinates:
So I now have the function is polar coordinates but I do not know how to square this function before converting ot back to rectangular coordinates uning this function:
The answer should be: 5[cos(2theta) + j sin(2theta)],theta=tan^-1 (1/2)
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to square that function?
Thanks

I used the following function to convert 2+j to polar coordinates:
Code:
>> [Theta_a, R_a] = cart2pol( real(2), imag(j) )
Theta_a =
0.4636
R_a =
2.2361So I now have the function is polar coordinates but I do not know how to square this function before converting ot back to rectangular coordinates uning this function:
Code:
[x, y] = pol2cart(Theta_a, R_a);
new_a = x + y*iThe answer should be: 5[cos(2theta) + j sin(2theta)],theta=tan^-1 (1/2)
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to square that function?
