Full solution

Q. Find the argument of the complex number 66i 6-6 i in the interval 0θ<360 0^{\circ} \leq \theta<360^{\circ} , rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree if necessary.
  1. Calculate arctan ratio: To find the argument of a complex number in the form a+bia + bi, where aa is the real part and bb is the imaginary part, we use the formula θ=arctan(ba)\theta = \arctan(\frac{b}{a}). For the complex number 66i6-6i, a=6a = 6 and b=6b = -6.
  2. Adjust for quadrant: We calculate the arctan(66)=arctan(1)\arctan(-\frac{6}{6}) = \arctan(-1). The arctan\arctan of 1-1 is 45°-45°. However, the argument of a complex number should be expressed in the interval from 0° to 360°360°.
  3. Find final argument: Since the complex number is in the third quadrant (both real and imaginary parts are negative), we add 180°180° to the initial result to find the argument in the correct quadrant. Therefore, the argument θ=45°+180°=135°\theta = -45° + 180° = 135°.
  4. Check within interval: We check if the argument is within the specified interval 0θ<3600^\circ \leq \theta < 360^\circ. Since 135135^\circ is within this interval, we do not need to adjust it further.
