What is true about the complex number -5 - 5i? Check all that apply. A. It lies in quadrant 2. B. It lies in quadrant 3. C. The modulus is 5. D. The modulus is .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolutely not... @OOOPS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh D should read "the modulus is 5 Root2"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it B and D @OOOPS

OpenStudy (danjs):

The modulus is the distance from the origin right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just one is correct, choose

OpenStudy (danjs):

so the modulus is \[\sqrt{5^2 + 5^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can check all that apply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but to this problem, only one is correct

OpenStudy (danjs):

you move -5 on the real axis and -5 on the imaginary axis, that is a triangle with legs 5 and 5, the hypotenuse is the distance from the origin and the modulus

OpenStudy (danjs):

square root of 50 is the modulus

OpenStudy (danjs):

or 5 root 2

OpenStudy (danjs):

and that is quadrant 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just jot it down, you can see everything, oh, Dan did. :)
