Problem Express the following in the form z = R e [ A e i ( ω t + α ) ] z = \mathrm{Re}[Ae^{i(\omega t + \alpha)}] z = Re [ A e i ( ω t + α ) ]
((a)) z = sin ω t + cos ω t z = \sin \omega t + \cos \omega t z = sin ω t + cos ω t .
((b)) z = cos ( ω t − π / 3 ) − cos ω t z = \cos(\omega t - \pi/3) - \cos \omega t z = cos ( ω t − π /3 ) − cos ω t .
((c)) z = 2 sin ω t + 3 cos ω t z = 2 \sin \omega t + 3 \cos \omega t z = 2 sin ω t + 3 cos ω t .
((d)) z = sin ω t − 2 cos ( ω t − π / 4 ) + cos ω t z = \sin \omega t - 2\cos(\omega t - \pi/4) + \cos \omega t z = sin ω t − 2 cos ( ω t − π /4 ) + cos ω t .
