MCQ
The argument of every complex number is:
  • A
    Double valued
  • B
    Single valued
  • Many valued
  • D
    Triple valued

Answer

Correct option: C.
Many valued
$z = x + iy$
amplitude $=\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow$ amplitude $=\theta\pm2\text{k}\pi$
where $\theta\in[-\pi,\pi]\ \forall\text{k}\in\text{R}$
since $\text{k}\in\text{R}$
$\Rightarrow$ Amplitude of any complex number is many valued.
