The principle argument of a complex number, denoted by Arg(z) is the argument of z which is in-between -n and a (* is inclusive, -n is exclusive). Thus -n < Arg(z) < a. For example arg(-1+i) = *+2k#, and Arg(-1+i) = *; Arg(1–i): 1. What is the principle argument of –1 – v3i? Find all In(-1 – v3i) and the orinciple logarithm Ln(-1– 3i) (use the principle argument).

Question
The principle argument of a complex number, denoted by Arg(z) is the argument
of z which is in-between -n and a (n is inclusive, -n is exclusive). Thus -7 <
Arg(z) < 7. For example arg(-1+i) = *+2kn, and Arg(-1+i) = *; Arg(1-i) =
-1. What is the principle argument of –1 – v3i? Find all In(-1- V3i) and the
principle logarithm Ln(-1 - V3i) (use the principle argument).

Expert Solution
Step 1

For complex number x +iy 

1st we will find α using tan α =yx

Then depends on quadrant principle argument θ can be found 

1st quadrant  θ=α

2nd quadrant θ=π-α

3rd quadrant θ=α-π

4th quadrant  θ=-α
