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)

Given M = [[-2,6],[1,3]], find P and D such that M = PDP^(-1) where D is a diagonal matrix


Particles P and Q move in a plane with constant velocities. At time t = 0 the position vectors of P and Q, relative to a fixed point O in the plane, are (16i - 12j) m and -5i + 4j) m respectively. The velocity of P is (i + 2j) m/s and the velocity of Q
