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