Question from Delilah, a student: What is the value of |2((i)^(1/2))|? |
Hi Delilah,
When dealing with complex numbers, the quantity you call absolute value is usually called the modulus.
There is a fact about the modulus of complex numbers that should help.
If $z_1$ and $z_2$ are complex numbers than $|z_1 z_2| = |z_1| |z_2|.$
