Q42 of 66 Page 91

The point represented by the complex number 2 – i is rotated about origin through an angle π/2 in the clockwise direction, the new position of point is:

Given z = 2 – i


If z rotated through an angle of π/2 about the origin in clockwise direction.


Then the new position = z. e-(π/2)


= (2 – i) e-(π/2)


= (2 – i) [cos (-π/2) + i sin (-π/2)]


= (2 – i) (0 – i)


= -1 – 2i
