Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem in the image, let’s break it down step by step:
Given:
Two complex numbers and are represented graphically in the complex plane.
We are tasked to determine the value of .
Observing the Diagram:
- lies at an angle above the positive real axis.
- lies at an angle below the negative real axis.
Thus:
- has a magnitude of and a positive angle (counterclockwise).
- has a magnitude and a negative angle (clockwise).
Expressing and in Polar Form:
-
For :
. -
For :
.
Computing :
Simplify the magnitudes and the exponents:
Analyzing the Result:
The term represents a rotation in the complex plane by . From the diagram, since corresponds to the angles of and , we can conclude that (90 degrees).
Thus:
Substitute this back:
Final Answer:
The value of is:
(d) .
