# Math Help - 2 questions about complex numbers

1. ## 2 questions about complex numbers

Q1) Prove that for any two complex numbers $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ , $|\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}| = \frac{|z_{1}|}{|z_{2}|}$. Is it true to write Arg $(z_{1}z_{2})=$ Arg $(z_{1})$ $+$ Arg $(z_{2})$. Support your ideas geometrically.

Q2) Show that $z^{\frac{1}{n}}$ has $n$ distinct values for natural number $n$. What can you say about non-natural values of $n$? Why?

For question 1, i know that, if one the argument is negative, that equation isn't true because of essential argument thing but i don't know how to explain it at exam paper and how to support it geometrically.
For question 2, i didn't understand a thing. so don't know where to begin solving.

2. Q1. Start by writing $\displaystyle z_1 = x_1 + y_1i$ and $\displaystyle z_2 = x_2 + y_2i$.

Evaluate $\displaystyle \left|\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right|$ and $\displaystyle \frac{|z_1|}{|z_2|}$. Are they equal?

For the second part of that question, do you know how to work with the exponential polar form of complex numbers?

Thanks for it. i'll try.

Edit: i know how to work with those $e^{z}=e^x(cos{y}+isin{y})$ for $z=x+yi$ and $e^{i\theta}=cos{\theta}+i sin{\theta}$ about exponential thing. hope, you meant those.
