Exam questions on Argand diagrams and modulus-argument form

  1. The complex number z=−1+i3z=-1+i\sqrt3 is given.
    Find the modulus of z2z^2 and the principal argument of z2z^2.2 marks
  2. z1=4(cos⁡π3+isin⁡π3)z_1=4\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{3}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\right) and z2=2(cos⁡π6+isin⁡π6)z_2=2\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{6}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{6}\right).
    Find z1z2\frac{z_1}{z_2} in the form x+iyx+iy, giving exact values.2 marks
  3. The complex numbers z=1+i3z=1+i\sqrt3 and w=−3+iw=-\sqrt3+i are represented by the points ZZ and WW on an Argand diagram with origin OO.
    Express zz and ww in modulus-argument form, with each argument in the range −π<θ≤π-\pi<\theta\le\pi.3 marks
