TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

7. $$z = - 24 - 7 i$$
  1. Show \(z\) on an Argand diagram.
  2. Calculate \(\arg z\), giving your answer in radians to 2 decimal places. It is given that $$w = a + b \mathrm { i } , \quad a \in \mathbb { R } , b \in \mathbb { R }$$ Given also that \(| w | = 4\) and \(\arg w = \frac { 5 \pi } { 6 }\),
  3. find the values of \(a\) and \(b\),
  4. find the value of \(| z w |\).
