geerky42 (geerky42):

modulus is basically absolute value, in other word, distance. so -3-4i looks like this:|dw:1399754327993:dw|

geerky42 (geerky42):

for this, use pythagorean theorem

geerky42 (geerky42):

is that clear?

geerky42 (geerky42):

argument for a+bi is \(\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{b}{a} \right)\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

yeah, r is modulus

geerky42 (geerky42):

so \(\Large r = \sqrt{3^2+4^2}\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

right!

geerky42 (geerky42):

well, it could be just 3 and 4 because negative sign cancel each other \(\dfrac{-3}{-4} = \dfrac{3}{4}\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

a would be -3 and b would be -4, yes

geerky42 (geerky42):

yeah.

geerky42 (geerky42):

points for -3 - 4i? point would be (-3,-4)

geerky42 (geerky42):

point for a+bi is (a,b)
