Total Impedance for simple electric circuits

[BenjaminAmoah]

Hi Everyone,

It's me again. Can someone help me solve this problem on MathCad?

Calculate the total impedance, in polar form, of an electrical circuit comprising a 27 Ohms resistor in series with a capacitor with a reactance of 35 Ohms and an inductor of 12 Ohms reactance.

Thanks.

Have you not got a starting point, or some information to work with?

I thought that impedance of capacitors and inductors was a function of frequency.

What is polar form?

You have one real term and two imaginary terms. You need to find the magnitude and angle using these values.
