The argument of a complex number z = x + iy is the angle θ such that x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ, where r = √(x² + y²) is the modulus of z.
To find the argument, we first simplify the complex number and then use the formula: θ = arctan(y/x).
Calculation:
First, simplify the complex number:
\(\frac{i}{2} - \frac{2}{i} = \frac{i}{2} - \frac{2i}{i^2} = \frac{i}{2} - \frac{2i}{-1} = \frac{i}{2} + 2i = \frac{5i}{2}\)
This complex number is \(0 + \frac{5}{2}i\), so x = 0 and y = \(\frac{5}{2}\).
Now, we find the argument θ:
Since x = 0 and y > 0, the complex number lies on the positive imaginary axis.
Therefore, the argument is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
∴ The argument of the complex number is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
Hence option 4 is correct
