Sample question
The complex number z = -1 + i√3 is expressed in the form r·e^(iθ) with -π < θ ≤ π. The value of θ is:
  • π/3
  • 2π/3
  • -2π/3
  • 5π/6
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

|z| = √((-1)² + (√3)²) = √4 = 2. The point (-1, √3) lies in the second quadrant. The reference angle is arctan(√3/1) = π/3, so arg(z) = π − π/3 = 2π/3, which lies in (−π, π]. Option B.
