If -1 + -3 = r e^ i , then the value of is
Options
- A- 2 3
- B3
- C- 3
- D2 3
Correct answer
D. 2 3
Step-by-step solution
Given complex number is z = -1 + -3 = -1 + i 3 . Let z = r e^ i , where r = |z| and = (z) . The real part x = -1 and the imaginary part y = 3 . Since x 0 , the complex number lies in the second quadrant. The principal argument is given by - ⁻¹ ( | y x | ) . = - ⁻¹( 3 ) = - 3 = 2 3 . Answer: 2 3
