Question

The modulus and argument of \( \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}i \) are
Options
A \( \sqrt{5}, \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{2/3}) \)
Correct Answer
B \( \sqrt{5}, \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3/2}) \)
C \( \sqrt{7}, \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3/2}) \)
D \( \sqrt{7}, \tan^{-1}(2/3) \)
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For z = a + bi, modulus = √(a²+b²) = √((√3)² + (√2)²) = √(3+2) = √5. Argument θ = tan⁻¹(b/a) = tan⁻¹(√2/√3) = tan⁻¹(√(2/3)).

Hint

Modulus = √(a²+b²), argument = tan⁻¹(b/a) with quadrant considered.
