Let $ w $ be a real number. Find an argument for
$$ \frac{1}{(1+2wi)^2} $$
Answer should be $ -2\arctan(2w) $. I keep getting $\arctan\left(\frac{-4w}{1+4w^2}\right) $ as an answer.
My steps involved multiplying both denominator and numerator with the conjugate of the denominator squared, which eventually led me to the answer above.
$\operatorname{arg}(z^m)=m\cdot\operatorname{arg}(z)+k\pi$ where integer $k$ such that $\operatorname{arg}(z^m)$ remains in $\in(-\pi,\pi]$
See this for the definition of arg$(x+iy)$
Here $\operatorname{arg}(1+2wi)^{-2}=(-2)\operatorname{arg}(1+2wi)+\pi$
$$\operatorname{arg}(1+2wi)=\arctan(2w)$$
