Q9
 Radians
A Radian is the angle made by an arc
equal to the radius of a circle.
 
The circumference of a circle is known
to be 2πr (r=radius).
This implies that 2π arcs with length of
the radius would fit in a circle.
We can therefore deduce that there
are
2π Radians in a full circle.

2π = 360°

 Modulus/argument

• Complex numbers are represented as

vectors on the Argand plane – so they must
have a magnitude AND direction

• MODULUS = MAGNITUDE/LENGTH
• ARGUMENT = DIRECTION
 MODULUS

WHY??

Consider the complex number: z = 2 + 3i
