TogoPogo Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hey everyone, I am currently in first year IB taking HL Math. However, I am struggling a bit with complex numbers in polar form, so I was wondering if you guys could provide some helpful tips/tricks with these types of questions? I always blank out when I attempt to solve these questions. For example, what steps should I take when solving this question:If z is a complex number and |z+16| = 4|z+1|, find the value of |z|Thanks!

Duckbeam Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Remember that | z |^2=zz*This property is crucial - square both sides of your equation and then work it from there (: Edited February 3, 2012 by Duckbeam Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
