First equation. How do I change this complex number into trigonometric form? 

### Transcription of Mathematical Notation

#### Problem Description

A) \( 156(\cos 3.5 + i \sin 3.5) \)

B) \( 5 \, \text{cis} \, 1 \)

### Explanation

The expression in part A represents a complex number in polar form. The format \( r(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta) \) indicates a complex number where:
- \( r \) is the magnitude (or modulus) of the complex number.
- \( \theta \) is the argument (or angle) of the complex number in radians.
- \( i \) denotes the imaginary unit, satisfying \( i^2 = -1 \).

Part B uses the abbreviation "cis" which stands for \(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta\). Thus, \( 5 \, \text{cis} \, 1 \) is an alternative way to write the polar form, where:
- The magnitude is 5.
- The angle is 1 radian.

This form is a shorthand commonly used for simplifying the expression of complex numbers in polar form.
