Question 4
The diagram shows the complex number $z$ on the Argand diagram. Which of the following diagrams best shows the position of $\frac{-2}{|z|}$? A. B. C. D.
Step 1
Answer
To find the position of on the Argand diagram, we first need to determine the modulus of the complex number . The modulus is given by , which is the distance from the origin to the point on the Argand plane.
Next, we calculate the value of . This is a real number, as it involves division of by the modulus , which is always positive. Therefore, the result will be a negative value.
In the Argand diagram, a negative real number will be plotted on the negative side of the real axis. Since is positive, will always lie on the negative real axis at a distance of rac{2}{|z|} from the origin, which points directly to the left.
Thus, the correct choice that represents this position is option A.
