TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

6. Given that \(z = - 3 + 4 \mathrm { i }\),
  1. find the modulus of \(z\),
  2. the argument of \(z\) in radians to 2 decimal places. Given also that \(w = \frac { - 14 + 2 \mathrm { i } } { z }\),
  3. use algebra to find \(w\), giving your answers in the form \(a + \mathrm { i } b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are real. The complex numbers \(z\) and \(w\) are represented by points \(A\) and \(B\) on an Argand diagram.
  4. Show the points \(A\) and \(B\) on an Argand diagram.
