Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If z = 3 + 4i, what is |z|?
  • Step 1: Identify the complex number z, which is given as z = 3 + 4i.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the modulus |z| is calculated using the formula |z| = √(a^2 + b^2), where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.
  • Step 3: In our case, a = 3 and b = 4.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: |z| = √(3^2 + 4^2).
  • Step 5: Calculate 3^2, which is 9.
  • Step 6: Calculate 4^2, which is 16.
  • Step 7: Add the results from Step 5 and Step 6: 9 + 16 = 25.
  • Step 8: Take the square root of 25: √25 = 5.
  • Step 9: Conclude that the modulus |z| = 5.
