JEE Main 2016 (Online) 9th April Morning Slot Mathematics - Complex Numbers Question 146 English Explanation

Here,

z −- (3 + 3i) = 222\sqrt 2 (cos( −- 135o) + i sin ( −- 135o))

= 222\sqrt 2 ( −- 12{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} −- i2{i \over {\sqrt 2 }} )

= −- 2 −- 2i

⇒\Rightarrow    z = 3 + 3 i −- 2 −- 2 i = 1 + i

Note :

Polar form of a complex number :

z = r (cos θ\theta + i sin θ\theta )

Here r = modulus of z and θ\theta argument of z.
