Question 1:
Find the modulus and the argument of the complex number
Answer:
On squaring and adding, we obtain

Since both the values of sin θ and cos θ are negative and sinθ and cosθ are negative in III quadrant,
Thus, the modulus and argument of the complex number
are 2 and
respectively.
Question 2:
Find the modulus and the argument of the complex number
Answer:
On squaring and adding, we obtain

Thus, the modulus and argument of the complex number
are 2 and
respectively.
Question 3:
Convert the given complex number in polar form: 1 – i
Answer:
1 – i
Let r cos θ = 1 and r sin θ = –1
On squaring and adding, we obtain

Question 4:
Convert the given complex number in polar form: – 1 + i
Answer:
– 1 + i
Let r cos θ = –1 and r sin θ = 1
On squaring and adding, we obtain

It can be written,
This is the required polar form.
Question 5:
Convert the given complex number in polar form: – 1 – i
Answer:
– 1 – i
Let r cos θ = –1 and r sin θ = –1
On squaring and adding, we obtain
