TopicComplex Numbers Arithmetic
TypeMulti-part questions with division as one step

  1. Given that \(z = 1 + \sqrt { } 3 \mathrm { i }\) and that \(\frac { w } { z } = 2 + 2 \mathrm { i }\), find
    1. \(w\) in the form \(a + \mathrm { i } b\), where \(a , b \in \mathbb { R }\),
    2. the argument of \(w\),
    3. the exact value for the modulus of \(w\).
    On an Argand diagram, the point \(A\) represents \(z\) and the point \(B\) represents \(w\).
  2. Draw the Argand diagram, showing the points \(A\) and \(B\).
  3. Find the distance \(A B\), giving your answer as a simplified surd.
