Question

If z = 2 – 2i, find the rotation of z by θ radians in the counterclockwise direction about the origin when θ = `pi/3`

Solution

Let 2 – 2i

Modules = |z| = `sqrt(2^2 + 2^2)`

= `2sqrt(2)`

Argument θ = `tan^-1 ((-2)/2)`

= `tan^-1 (- 1)`

= `- pi/4`

When ‘z’ is rotated in the counter clockwise direction about the origin when θ = `pi/3`

i.e., Argument of new position

= `pi/3 - pi/4`

= `pi/12`

∴ New position is `2sqrt(2) (cos  pi/12 + "i" sin  pi/12)`

= `2sqrt(2) "e"^(("i"pi)/12)`
