Correct answer: B

  1. Given complex number

    z=2−i(2tan⁡5π8)=2−2itan⁡5π8z=2-i\left(2\tan\frac{5\pi}{8}\right)=2-2i\tan\frac{5\pi}{8}z=2−i(2tan85π​)=2−2itan85π​

    Factor out 222:

    z=2(1−itan⁡5π8)z=2\left(1-i\tan\frac{5\pi}{8}\right)z=2(1−itan85π​)

  2. Simplify the tangent term

    Using

    tan⁡(π−α)=−tan⁡α,\tan\left(\pi-\alpha\right)=-\tan\alpha,tan(π−α)=−tanα,

    we get

    tan⁡5π8=tan⁡(π−3π8)=−tan⁡3π8\tan\frac{5\pi}{8}=\tan\left(\pi-\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)=-\tan\frac{3\pi}{8}tan85π​=tan(π−83π​)=−tan83π​

    Therefore,

    =2\left(1+i\tan\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)$$
  3. Write in polar-friendly form

    Use the identity

    1+itan⁡ϕ=cos⁡ϕ+isin⁡ϕcos⁡ϕ=sec⁡ϕ (cos⁡ϕ+isin⁡ϕ)1+i\tan\phi=\frac{\cos\phi+i\sin\phi}{\cos\phi}=\sec\phi\,(\cos\phi+i\sin\phi)1+itanϕ=cosϕcosϕ+isinϕ​=secϕ(cosϕ+isinϕ)

    with ϕ=3π8\phi=\frac{3\pi}{8}ϕ=83π​:

    z=2sec⁡3π8(cos⁡3π8+isin⁡3π8)z=2\sec\frac{3\pi}{8}\left(\cos\frac{3\pi}{8}+i\sin\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)z=2sec83π​(cos83π​+isin83π​)

  4. Read modulus and argument

    Comparing with polar form z=r(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)z=r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)z=r(cosθ+isinθ),

    r=2sec⁡3π8,θ=3π8r=2\sec\frac{3\pi}{8},\qquad \theta=\frac{3\pi}{8}r=2sec83π​,θ=83π​

  5. Match with the options

    This corresponds to:

    (2sec⁡3π8,3π8)\left(2\sec\frac{3\pi}{8},\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)(2sec83π​,83π​)

    which is Option B.

  6. Verification with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: B

    Our derived answer: B

    Hence, they agree.
