Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Quadrant 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the complex number \(z = \dfrac{1+7i}{(2-i)^2}\). First, expand the denominator: \((2-i)^2 = 4 - 4i + i^2 = 4 - 4i - 1 = 3 - 4i\). Now, express \(z\) as \(\dfrac{1+7i}{3-4i}\). Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is \(3+4i\):…
