If and are two complex numbers such that , then is :
(Here denotes the principal argument of complex number z )
(Here denotes the principal argument of complex number z )
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
The modulus of equals that of , so , and
which makes . Substituting this value,
Both the real and the imaginary part are negative, so the point lies in the third quadrant with reference angle , and its principal argument is .
which makes . Substituting this value,
Both the real and the imaginary part are negative, so the point lies in the third quadrant with reference angle , and its principal argument is .
