Math Problem Statement

Draw on the Argand diagram the radius vector corresponding to (1+I) squared

Solution

Here is the Argand diagram displaying the radius vector corresponding to the complex number (1+i)2=2i(1+i)^2 = 2i. The radius vector starts at the origin and points upward to the point 2i2i on the imaginary axis.

Do you have any questions or would you like further details?

Here are 5 related questions you might consider:

  1. What happens when other complex numbers are squared on the Argand diagram?
  2. How would you plot (1+i)3(1+i)^3 on the Argand diagram?
  3. What does multiplying a complex number by ii do to its position on the diagram?
  4. How do you convert a complex number from Cartesian form to polar form?
  5. What is the geometric interpretation of squaring a complex number?

Tip: Squaring a complex number geometrically doubles its angle and squares its magnitude.
