Not much with it! Saved answer here :¬
As the question states that the argument of z is least, z must represent the lowest possible point in the shaded region. Draw a tangent from the center to the lowest point on the circle (this doesn't have to be accurate) as shown by the blue line. This line represents |z|. The angle between the radius and the tangent is always 90 so a right-angled triangle is formed. The opposite side, with is equal to the radius is 1 unit. The magnitude of complex u is the hypotenuse and the adjacent represents |z|. you can easily find |u|, √(2^2+2^) = √8.
So, |z| =√(√8)^2 -1^2 = √8-1 =√7
thank you very much for ur explanations ~
