What Is the Modulus of a Complex Number?

The modulus (or absolute value) of a complex number represents its distance from the origin in the complex plane. For a complex number \( z = a + bi \): \( |z| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \) Where: \( a \) is the real part of the complex number, \( b \) is the imaginary part of the complex number.

Examples

Example 1: Modulus of \( 3 + 4i \)

Solution:

\( |3 + 4i| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \)

Result: The modulus of \( 3 + 4i \) is \( 5 \).

Example 2: Modulus of \( 1 - 2i \)

Solution:

\( |1 - 2i| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5} \approx 2.24 \)

Result: The modulus of \( 1 - 2i \) is approximately \( 2.24 \).

Example 3: Modulus of \( -3 + 4i \)

Solution:

\( |-3 + 4i| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \)

Result: The modulus of \( -3 + 4i \) is \( 5 \).
