There is a definite difference between what these dots represent. The
red - on the complex plane - sits squarely on pi/3, with a cos value of .5,
and a i*sin value of .866. The grey dot is a polar complex with a modulus
(length) of 7.3303
The green dot is also at ,5 for x but the imaginary value is at 7.3303.
This is also a complex number, but will have different cos and sin readings
from the others.
7.3303 equals (app) .866 + 2 pi.

Two pi multiple angles on the sin element will keep signs the same,
which is neat. But calculations for the real term will take the cos of the
sin!😕

i*sin assigns it's angle value to the cos calculation as well.
