Geometrical Meaning of Argument and Modulus - I: Complex Number
LIKE TO JOIN ON FACEBOOK ( click here ) Students are requested to understand this carefully 1. Arg(z) = pi/3 z = 0 is excluded since z = 0 is the only complex number whose argument is not defined 2. Arg(z) > pi/3 Since principal argument belongs to (-pi, pi], therefore Argument cannot be greater than pi. therefore Arg(z) > pi/3 =>) z = 0 is excluded 3. |Arg(z)| < pi/4 => -pi/4 < Arg(z) < pi/4 z = 0 is excluded 4. => Arg(z) = pi since, principal argument belongs to , therefore Argument cannot be greater than pi. z = 0 is excluded 5. -pi/3 is included z = 0 is excluded 6. Complex number , equal only when z is purely real number or '0' IMP 7. Arg(|z|) = 0 Since |z| is a Positive Real number , therefore it lies on right side of x - axis i.e. on positive Real axis and x-axis has '0' argument because it makes 0 radian angle from x-axis For z = 0 , argument does not exist T
