Finding modulus and argument of complex number (x+iy)

Draw argand diagram

Modulus=|z|= length of the line

So |z|=(x2+y2)0.5

Argument=Angle between real (x axis) and line

so arg(z)=arctan(y/x)

It is given that f(x) = 2sinhx+3coshx. Show that the curve y = f(x) has a stationary point at x =-½ ln(5) and find the value of y at this point. Solve the equation f(x) = 5, giving your answers exactly


How do you find the general solution of a second order differential equation?


Let f(x)=x^x for x>0, then find f'(x) for all x>0.


Convert the general complex number z=x+iy to modulus-argument form.
