Modulus & Argument: Distances, ATAN with a Quadrant Correction, Degrees vs Radians
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You compute the modulus of seven numbers with SQRT, see where plain ATAN goes wrong, build an argument formula that is right in all four quadrants and on the axes, and convert it to radians.
