Find the argument and the absolute value of the complex number z = 2 + i*3^1/2/2

The absolute value of a complex number is also called the
modulus of the complex number and it can be found from rectangular
form:


z = x + i*y (rectangular
form)


Modulus: |z| = sqrt(x^2 +
y^2)


We'll identify the real part and the imaginary part of
z:


x = Re(z) = 2


y = Im(z) =
(sqrt 3)/2


Now, we'll calculate the
modulus:


|z| = sqrt[2^2 +
(sqrt3)^2/4]


|z| = sqrt
(4+3/4)


|z| = sqrt
(19/4)


|z| = sqrt
(19)/2


The modulus of the
given complex number is |z| = sqrt
(19)/2.


The argument of the complex number
is the angle to x axis.


arg(z) =
a


tan a =
y/x


tan a = (sqrt
3)/4


a = arctan[(sqrt 3)/4] +
k*pi


arg(z) = arctan[(sqrt
3)/4] + k*pi
