The argument of z = 1 + i is:

Answer: π/4.

  • A π/6
  • B π/3
  • C π/2
  • D π/4

Correct answer: D. π/4

Explanation: arg(1+i) = tan<sup>-1</sup>(1/1) = tan<sup>-1</sup>(1) = pi/4.

Argand Plane: z = a + ibReImz = a+iba (real part)b (imaginary part)θ = arg(z)|z| = length of the vector OZ = √(a²+b²); θ = angle OZ makes with the positive real axis

A complex number z = a+ib is plotted as a point (or vector from the origin) on the Argand plane, with the real part along the horizontal axis and the imaginary part along the vertical; its modulus |z| is the vector's length, and its argument θ is the angle from the positive real axis.

Concept context

Complex numbers in a+ib form, modulus, argument, polar form, cube roots of unity, and quadratic equations with complex roots
