MCQ
Choose the correct answer.
The value of arg(x), when x < 0 is:
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • C
    $\pi$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. $\pi$

Solution:

Let z = -x + 0i and x < 0

$\therefore\ |\text{z}|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(0)^2}=1,\text{ x}<0$

Since, the point (-x, 0) lies on the negative side of the real axis $(\because\text{x}<0)$

$\therefore$ Principle argument $(\text{z})=\pi$
