Express each of the following complex numbers in polar form, and plot them in the complex plane, indicating the magnitude and angle of each number. 

A) <math> 1 + j\sqrt{3}</math>

<math> r = \sqrt{1^2 + \sqrt{3}^2} = \sqrt{4} = 2</math>

<math>\theta = arctan(\sqrt{3}/1) = arctan(\sqrt{3}) = \frac{\pi}{3}</math>

Therefore the polar form of this complex number is: <math>2e^{j\frac{\pi}{3}}</math>

B) <math> -5 </math>

<math> r = 5 </math>

<math> \theta = \pi </math>

C) <math> (1 + j)^{5} </math>

<math> r = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{2} </math>

<math> \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} </math>

<math> (1 + j) = \sqrt{2}e^{j\frac{\pi}{4}} </math>

<math> (1 + j)^{5} = \sqrt{2}e^{j\frac{\pi}{4}}^{5} </math>
