Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given complex number has a hexadecimal format. To plot it, we need to convert it to rectangular form. The last two digits (TB) indicate the position of the decimal point. Then, we convert the first 16 digits to binary form:

00010001111010110011001111100110

We divide it into two parts of 8 digits each and convert each part to decimal form:

00010001 = 17
11101011 = -21

Therefore, the rectangular form of the complex number is 17 - 21i.

To choose the correct answer, we need to convert this rectangular form back to hexadecimal form and compare it to the given choices.

17 - 21i = 0x11 - 0x15i

Only choice B has the same hexadecimal format as the given complex number. Therefore, the answer is B.
