algebra precalculus - Writing the complex number z=1sinalpha+icosalpha in trigonometric form

Now I can't finish this problem:



Express the complex number z=1sinα+icosα in trigonometric form, where 0<α<π2.



So the goal is to determine both r and θ for the expression: z=r(cosθ+isinθ)



I've done this so far:





  1. First of all I obtained r=(1sinα)2+cos2α=1+2sinα+sin2α+cos2α=2(1sinα) (possible thanks to the condition over α).


  2. Now I tried to get θ=arctan(cosα1sinα)




And here it is where I get stuck... how to determine θ with such an expression?



I already know 0<1sinα<1 and 0<cosα<1 under the given conditions.



Any help will be appreciated. Thank you :)




P.S. I think (according to my search results here) there are no questions about this problem. I hope you won't mind if it is a duplicate.
