ANSWER


2 √(3) i

EXPLANATION

We we're given that, the real part of the complex number is 2.

Let the imaginary part be y.

Then the complex number is


z = 2 + yi

Also, we have that, the modulus is 4.

The modulus is given by the formula;


|z| = \sqrt{ {x}^(2) + {y}^(2) }

This implies that,


4 = \sqrt{ {2}^(2) + {y}^(2) }

We square both sides to obtain;


{4}^(2) = 4 + {y}^(2)


16 - 4 = {y}^(2)


{y}^(2) = 12


y = √(12) = 2 √(3)

Therefore the complex part is


2 √(3) i
