Solution
Let's break down and solve each part of the question as shown in the image.
Part a)
We are asked to solve the following equations in the form , where represents the imaginary unit.
i)
-
Simplify the real part:
-
Simplify the imaginary part:
Thus, the result is:
In the form , this becomes:
ii)
- Subtract the real and imaginary parts separately:
Thus, the solution is:
iii)
-
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
-
Simplify the denominator:
-
Expand the numerator:
-
Final result:
Thus, the solution is:
Part b)
We are asked to calculate the modulus and argument of , and illustrate the Argand diagram.
Modulus
The modulus is given by:
Argument
The argument is calculated using: Since the complex number is in the third quadrant, we add :
Thus:
Would you like further details on any part of the solution, or any questions about this?
Here are 5 related questions:
- How do you represent complex numbers on the Argand diagram?
- What is the significance of the modulus and argument in polar form?
- How would you multiply two complex numbers in polar form?
- Can you explain the geometric interpretation of the argument?
- What is the relation between a complex number's conjugate and its argument?
Tip: When dealing with complex division, always multiply by the conjugate to simplify the denominator.
