Complex numbers just like real numbers can be represented by the points on a plane
The point P(𝑥, 𝑦) in the plane of coordinates with axes 0𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 0𝑦 represents the complex number
The diagram of points in the Cartesian coordinates representing the complex number is called an
Argand diagram
𝜃 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑙 − 𝑎𝑥𝑒𝑠
If the complex number 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 is denoted by z, hence 𝑧 = 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦, |𝑧|𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 as the distance from the
origin 0 to the point P representing z. Thus |𝑧| = 0𝑃 = 𝑟.
|𝑧| = √𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2
The argument of z, arg𝑧 is defined as the angle between the line 0P and the positive 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑒𝑠 usually is
in the range −𝜋 ≤ 𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑧 ≤ 𝜋
The argument of a complex number is determined by the position of the complex number
on the argand diagram
Angles below the negative axes are negative on a clockwise direction
Angles below the axes are negative
𝒚
First find 𝜽 = 𝒕𝒂𝒏−𝟏 |𝒙| where 𝒙 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚 are the absolute values(ignore the signs and
take 𝒙 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚 as positive values)
The principal argument is determined by the position of complex in the argand diagram

A locus is a path traced out by a point subjected to certain restrictions. Paths can be traced out
by points representing variable complex numbers on an argand diagram just as they can in
other coordinate systems.
Consider the simplest case first, when the point P represents the complex number z such that
|z| = k. This means that the distance of P from O is a constant and so P trace out a circle

To find the remaining roots , the right – hand side of the equation 𝑧 𝑛 = 1 has to be examined.
In exponential form , 1 = 𝑒 0 because 𝑒 0 = cos 0 + 𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑛0 = 1 + 𝑖0. But also , 1 = 𝑒 2𝜋𝑖 because
𝑒 2𝜋𝑖 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝜋 + 𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝜋 = 1 + 𝑖0. Indeed 1 = 𝑒 2𝜋𝑘𝑖 where 𝑘 is any integer. Substituting the
right-hand side of the equation 𝑧 𝑛 = 1 by this term gives 𝑧 𝑛 = 𝑒 2𝜋𝑘𝑖 . Taking the 𝑛th root both
2𝜋𝑘𝑖
side gives 𝑧 = 𝑒 𝑛 . Different integer values of 𝑘 will give rise to different roots.
