Lesson 8EThe Amazing Inverse Trig Function RaceSolidify Understanding

Plot each number in the rectangular complex plane.

5.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the modulus of each number in problems 1–4. (Recall that the modulus is the distance between the point and the point representing the number.)

Multiply each complex number in problems 1–4 by its conjugate.

a.

Multiply by its conjugate.

b.

Multiply by its conjugate.

c.

Multiply by its conjugate.

d.
