Question:

If \(\Arg z_1\) and \(\Arg z_2\) are \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) and \(\frac{\pi}{5}\) respectively, then the value of \(\Arg z_1 + \Arg z_2\) is:

Show Hint

When summing arguments, remember the principal value of \(\Arg(z)\) must lie within \((- \pi, \pi]\).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall property of arguments.
\[ \Arg(z_1 z_2) = \Arg z_1 + \Arg z_2 \quad (\text{mod } 2\pi) \]

Step 2: Add the arguments.
\[ \Arg z_1 + \Arg z_2 = \frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{5} = \frac{5\pi + 3\pi}{15} = \frac{8\pi}{15} \]

Step 3: Adjust to principal value.
The principal value of argument lies in \((- \pi, \pi]\), so we consider the minimal positive equivalent:
\[ \boxed{\frac{2\pi}{15}} \]
