Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If z = 2(cos(θ) + i sin(θ)), what is the value of |z|?
Correct Answer: 2
  • Step 1: Identify the given expression for z, which is z = 2(cos(θ) + i sin(θ)).
  • Step 2: Recognize that the expression cos(θ) + i sin(θ) is in the form of Euler's formula, which represents a point on the unit circle.
  • Step 3: Note that in the expression z = r(cos(θ) + i sin(θ)), r is the magnitude (or modulus) of z.
  • Step 4: In this case, r is the coefficient in front of (cos(θ) + i sin(θ)), which is 2.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the magnitude |z| is equal to r, which is 2.
