4-1.Complex numbers
normal
If $z$ is a purely real number such that ${\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} (z) < 0$, then $arg(z)$ is equal to
A
$\pi $
B
$\frac{\pi }{2}$
C
$0$
D
$ - \frac{\pi }{2}$
Solution
(a)Let $z = a + i0$, where $a < 0$. Then $z$ is represented by a point on negative side of $x$-axis, therefore $arg(z) = \pi $
