Question

In which quadrant is the number –14 – 5i located on the complex plane?

Answer 1

The complex number
`r = -14 - i\,5` belongs to the third quadrant of the complex plane.

Explanation:

Let be
`r = -14 - i\,5`. In the complex plane, if
`\Re (r) < 0` (real component) and
`\Im (r) < 0` (imaginary component), the number belongs to the third quadrant of the complex plane. The complex number
`r = -14 - i\,5` belongs to the third quadrant of the complex plane.
