Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If z = re^(iθ), what is the value of |z|?
Correct Answer: r
  • Step 1: Understand that z is given in the form z = re^(iθ), where r is a real number and θ is an angle in radians.
  • Step 2: Recognize that |z| represents the modulus (or absolute value) of the complex number z.
  • Step 3: Recall the property of the modulus of a complex number in exponential form: |re^(iθ)| = |r| * |e^(iθ)|.
  • Step 4: Since r is a real number, |r| = r (assuming r is non-negative).
  • Step 5: The modulus of e^(iθ) is 1, because it represents a point on the unit circle in the complex plane.
  • Step 6: Combine the results: |z| = |r| * |e^(iθ)| = r * 1 = r.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the value of |z| is simply r.
