Question : 45
Total: 52
Find the modulus and argument of the complex number
Solution:
We have ,
=
×
=
=
= -
+
i
Let -
= r c o s θ ... (i) and
= r sin θ ... (ii)
Squaring and adding (i) and (ii), we get
r 2 ( c o s 2 θ + s i n 2 θ ) =
+
=
=
⇒ r 2 =
⇒ r =
Substituting the value of r in (i) and (ii), we get
cos θ = −
,
sin θ =
⇒ cos θ = −
, sin θ =
⇒ cos θ = - cos(
) , sin θ = sin
Here, cos θ < 0 , sin θ > 0.
∴ θ lies in second quadrant.
θ = π -
=
∴ Modulus is
and argument is
