Question

find the modulus of (1-3i)^5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Let, z=

1−3i

1+2i

z=

1−3i

1+2i

×

1+3i

1+3i

=

=

1+9

1+5i+6(−1)

=

Let z=rcosθ+irsinθ

i.e.,rcosθ=

2

−1

and rsinθ=

2

1

On squaring and adding, we obtain

r

As r>0

⇒r=

2

1

∴

2

1

cosθ=

2

−1

and

2

1

sinθ=

2

1

⇒cosθ=

2

−1

and sinθ=

3π

[As θ lies in the II quadrant ]

Therefore the modulus and argument of the given complex number are

2

1

and

4

3π

respectively.
