Question

what is the distance from the origin to point a graphed on the complex plane below?

\\(\sqrt{5}\\)
\\(\sqrt{13}\\)
9
13

Explanation:

Identify coordinates of point A

$$ A = (-3, -2) \implies z = -3 - 2i $$

Apply distance formula from origin

$$ d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\sqrt{5}\)
  • (B) \(\sqrt{13}\) (Correct answer)
  • (C) 9
  • (D) 13
