only part a)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

hmm z and w are complex |z| = |w| and arg(z) = arg(w) Let's see.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

doesn't this mean that z = w?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but answer is -w

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

or z = -w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if it Z=w , then how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or z=-w how

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well, a complex number z has both its modulus |z| and its argument arg(z) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

If two numbers have the same modulus, then they have the same distance from the the origin 0 + 0i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

And they have the same angle, too, arg(z) = arg(w)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here arg means argument/amplitude

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

So, that means, they are collinear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well, they're like vectors, aren't they? They'll only be collinear if they're multiples of each other But their moduli (absolute values) are equal, so they have to be either equal, or negatives of each other :D
