FP2 Complex number magnitude and argument

z = -j * e^(jx) * sin(x)

how do you possibly find the magnitude and argument of that?

Express e^(jx) as cosx+jsinx\cos x + j\sin x and then you'll get it in the form z=a+bjz = a+ bj.

Thanks got it

Perfect!

The question does ask to find arg(w) too but i'm getting that wrong.

w =sin^2(x)-jcos(x)sin(x)

tan(x) = O/A = cos(x)sin(x)/sin^2(x)
tan(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)
tan(x) = 1/tan(x)
tan^2(x) = 1
tan(x) = +- 1
x = -pi/4 or pi/4

so x = -pi/4 but text book answer is theta - pi/2

This is what happens when you use/confuse the same variables. The argument is not x, so why are you writing tan x = f(x). Let's call the argument yy, then:

tany=cosxsinx    tany=cotx    tany=tan(π2x)y=π2x\tan y = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} \iff \tan y = \cot x \iff \tan y = \tan(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) \Rightarrow y = \frac{\pi}{2} - x.
