Minimum argument of a complex number
So if we draw two lines: 1) Joining the centre of the circle to the origin and 2) extending a tangent of the circle to the origin as this is where the minimum argument occurs? Consequently two congruent triangles are formed (if we draw a line down form the centre of the circle perpendicular to...- Amaru58

Complex Numbers Locus Question
OK. I'm not too sure what you mean by canonical form? Would x = {(x+3)^2 + (y+2)^2}^1/2 Therefore: x^2 = x^2 +6x + 9 +y^2 +4y+4 6x+4y+y^2=-13 I'm not quite sure what to do now Thanks for the help- Amaru58
