What are the argument and the modulus of the complex number z=1+i*3^1/2 ?

If z = x+iy,


Then we can
write this in the polar form as r (cosp +isinp)


where  r =
sqrt(x^2+y^2).


x = rcosp


y = r
sin p.


So tan p =
y/x.


Therefore p = arctan (y/x) is called argument of
x+iy.


Also r = sqrt(x^2+y^2) is the modulus of z or
(x+iy).


Given z =
1+i*3^(1/2).


Therefore modulus of z = |z| =
sqrt{1^2+(3^1/2)^2}


|z| = sqrt(1+3) = sqrt4 =
2.


Therefore modulus of z = |z| =
2.


Argument of 1+i*3^(1/2) =  arc tan (3^1/2)/1 = arc tan
(sqrt3)= pi/3.


Therefore argument of z = argument of
(1+i*3^1/2) = pi/3 or 60 degree.
