उत्तर
\[ \frac{1 + 2i}{1 - 3i}\]
\[\text { Rationalising the denominator }: \]
\[\frac{1 + 2i}{1 - 3i} \times \frac{1 + 3i}{1 + 3i}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1 + 3i + 2i + 6 i^2}{1 - 9 i^2} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- 5 + 5i}{10} \left( \because i^2 = - 1 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- 1}{2} + \frac{i}{2}\]
\[r = \left| z \right|\]
\[ = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}}\]
\[ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
\[\text{ Let } \tan \alpha = \left| \frac{Im(z)}{Re(z)} \right|\]
\[\text {Then }, \tan \alpha = \left| \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{- 1}{2}} \right|\]
\[ = 1 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\pi}{4}\]
\[\text { Since point } \left( \frac{- 1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) \text { lies in the second quadrant, the argument is given by }\]
\[\theta = \pi - \alpha\]
\[ = \pi - \frac{\pi}{4}\]
\[ = \frac{3\pi}{4}\]
\[\text { Polar form } = r\left( \cos \theta + i\sin \theta \right) \]
\[ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left( cos\frac{3\pi}{4} + i\sin\frac{3\pi}{4} \right)\]
