Exercise 5.2

Q1 Find the modulus and the arguments of each of the complex numbers
z = −1 − i√3

z = −1 − i√3

Let r cos θ = −1 and r sin θ = −√3

On squaring and adding, we obtain

2 2 2 2
(r cos θ) + (r sin θ) = (−1) + (−√3)

2 2 2
⇒ r (cos θ + sin θ) = 1 + 3

⇒ Modulus = 2

Page 7

∴ 2 cos θ = −1 and 2 sin θ = −√3

−1 −√3
⇒ cos θ = and sin θ =
2 2

since both the values of sin θ and cos θ are negative and sin θ and cos θ are negative in

III quadrant,

π −2π
Argument = − (π − ) =
3 3

−2π
Thus, the modulus and argument of the complex number − 1 − √3i are 2 and
3

respectively.

Q2 Find the modulus and the arguments of each of the complex numbers z = −√3 + i

z = − √3 + i

Let r cos θ = −√3 and r sin θ = 1

On squaring and adding, we obtain

2 2 2 2 2 2
r cos θ + r sin θ = (−√3) + 1

2
⇒ r = 3 + 1 = 4

⇒ r = √4 = 2

∴ Modulus = 2

∴ 2 cos θ = −√3 and 2 sin θ = 1

−√3 1
⇒ cos θ = and sin θ =
2 2

π 5π
∴ θ = π − =
6 6

5π
Thus, the modulus and argument of the complex number − √3 + i are 2 and
6

respectively.

Q3 Convert each of the complex numbers given in the polar form:
1 − i

1 − i

Let r cos θ = 1 and r sin θ = −1

On squaring and adding, we obtain
2 2 2 2 2 2
r cos θ + r sin θ = 1 + (−1)

2 2 2
⇒ r (cos θ + sin θ) = 1 + 1

2
⇒ r = 2

⇒ r = √2

∴ √2 cos θ = 1 and √2 sin θ = −1

1 1
⇒ cos θ = and sin θ = −
√2 √2

Page 8

π π π π
∴ 1 − i = r cos θ + r sin θ = √2 cos(− ) + i√2 sin(− ) = √2 [cos(− ) + i sin(− )] This is
4 4 4 4

the required polar form.

Page : 108 , Block Name : Exercise 5.2

Q4 Convert each of the complex numbers given in the polar form:
−1 + i

−1 + i

Let r cos θ = −1 and r sin θ = 1

On squaring and adding, we obtain

2 2 2 2 2 2
r cos θ + r sin θ = (−1) + 1

2 2 2
⇒ r (cos θ + sin θ) = 1 + 1

⇒ r = √2 [ Conventionally, r > 0]

∴ √2 cos θ = −1 and √2 sin θ = 1

1 1
⇒ cos θ = − and sin θ =
√2 √2

π 3π
∴ θ = π − = [ As θ lies in the II quadrant ]
4 4

It can be written,

3π 3π 3π 3π
∴ −1 + i = r cos θ + ir sin θ = √2 cos + i√2 sin = √2 (cos + i sin )
4 4 4 4

This is the required polar form.

Page : 108 , Block Name : Exercise 5.2

Q5 Convert each of the complex numbers given in the polar form:
−1 − i

−1 − i

Let r cos θ = −1 and r sin θ = −1

On squaring and adding, we obtain

2 2 2 2 2 2
r cos θ + r sin θ = (−1) + (−1)

2 2 2
⇒ r (cos θ + sin θ) = 1 + 1

2
⇒ r = 2

⇒ r = √2

∴ √2 cos θ = −1 and √2 sin θ = −1

1 1
⇒ cos θ = − and sin θ = −
√2 √2

π 3π
∴ θ = − (π − ) = − [ As θ lies in the III quadrant ]
4 4

−3π −3π −3π −3π
∴ −1 − i = r cos θ + ir sin θ = √2 cos + i√2 sin = √2 (cos + i sin ) This is the

r cos θ + r sin θ = (−3)

2 2 2
⇒ r (cos θ + sin θ) = 9

2
⇒ r = 9

⇒ r = √9 = 3

∴ 3 cos θ = −1 and 3 sin θ = 0

⇒ θ = π

∴ −3 = r cos θ + ir sin θ = 3 cos π + B sin π = 3(cos π + i sin π)

This is the required polar form.

r cos θ + r sin θ = (√3) + 1

2 2 2
⇒ r (cos θ + sin θ) = 3 + 1

Q14 Find the real number x and y if (x − iy)(3 + 5i) is the conjugate of − 6 − 24i

Let z = (x − ty)(3 + 5i)

It is given that, z = −6 − 24i

∴ (3x + 5y) − i(5x − 3y) = −6 − 24i

Equating real and imaginary parts, we obtain

3x + 5y = −6

5x − 3y = 24

Multiplying equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 5 and then adding them, we obtain

Putting the value of x in equation (i), we obtain

3(3) + 5y = −6

⇒ 5y = −6 − 15

⇒ y = −3

Thus, the values of x and y are 3 and − 3 respectlvely.
