  1. Simplify the complex number z=3−9i3+iz = \frac{3-9i}{3+i}.

    To simplify, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 3−i3-i.

    z=3−9i3+i×3−i3−iz = \frac{3-9i}{3+i} \times \frac{3-i}{3-i} z=(3)(3)+(3)(−i)+(−9i)(3)+(−9i)(−i)(3)(3)+(3)(−i)+(i)(3)+(i)(−i)z = \frac{(3)(3) + (3)(-i) + (-9i)(3) + (-9i)(-i)}{(3)(3) + (3)(-i) + (i)(3) + (i)(-i)} z=9−3i−27i+9i29−3i+3i−i2z = \frac{9 - 3i - 27i + 9i^2}{9 - 3i + 3i - i^2}

    Substitute i2=−1i^2 = -1:

    z=9−30i+9(−1)9−(−1)z = \frac{9 - 30i + 9(-1)}{9 - (-1)} z=9−30i−99+1z = \frac{9 - 30i - 9}{9 + 1} z=−30i10z = \frac{-30i}{10} z=−3iz = -3i

    The simplified form of the given complex number is −3i\boxed{-3i}.

  2. Calculate the modulus of z=−3−3iz = -3-3i.

    The student's subsequent calculations for modulus, argument, and plot are based on the complex number z=−3−3iz = -3-3i. We will proceed with this value.
    For z=−3−3iz = -3-3i, the real part is a=−3a = -3 and the imaginary part is b=−3b = -3.
    The modulus ∣z∣|z| is given by the formula ∣z∣=a2+b2|z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}.

    ∣z∣=(−3)2+(−3)2|z| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-3)^2} ∣z∣=9+9|z| = \sqrt{9 + 9} ∣z∣=18|z| = \sqrt{18} ∣z∣=9×2|z| = \sqrt{9 \times 2} ∣z∣=32|z| = 3\sqrt{2}

    The modulus is 32\boxed{3\sqrt{2}}.

  3. Calculate the argument of z=−3−3iz = -3-3i.

    To find the argument θ\theta, first find the reference angle α\alpha using tan⁡(α)=∣ba∣\tan(\alpha) = \left|\frac{b}{a}\right|.

    tan⁡(α)=∣−3−3∣=∣1∣=1\tan(\alpha) = \left|\frac{-3}{-3}\right| = |1| = 1 α=arctan⁡(1)=45∘\alpha = \arctan(1) = 45^\circ

    Since the real part a=−3a = -3 is negative and the imaginary part b=−3b = -3 is negative, the complex number z=−3−3iz = -3-3i lies in the third quadrant.
    For a complex number in the third quadrant, the argument θ\theta is 180∘+α180^\circ + \alpha.

    θ=180∘+45∘\theta = 180^\circ + 45^\circ θ=225∘\theta = 225^\circ

    The argument is 225∘\boxed{225^\circ}.

  4. Plot the complex number z=−3−3iz = -3-3i on an Argand diagram.

    An Argand diagram represents a complex number z=a+biz = a+bi as a point (a,b)(a,b) in the complex plane. The horizontal axis represents the real part, and the vertical axis represents the imaginary part.
    For z=−3−3iz = -3-3i, the real part is −3-3 and the imaginary part is −3-3.
    Therefore, the complex number is plotted as the point (−3,−3)\boxed{(-3, -3)} on the Argand diagram.
