Determine the absolute value of z for 2+iz=i

To determine the absolute value of the complex number,
we'll put it in the rectangular form first.


For this
reason, we'll re-write z, isolating z to the left side. For this reason, we'll subtract
2 both sides:


iz = i - 2


We'll
divide by i:


z = (i -
2)/i


Since we have to put z in the rectangular
form:


z = x + i*y, we'll multiply the ratio by the
conjugate of i, that is -i.


z = -i*(i -
2)/-i^2


But i^2 = -1


z = -i*(i
- 2)/-(-1)


We'll remove the
brackets:


z = 2i - i^2


z = 1 +
2i


The modulus of z: |z| = sqrt (x^2 +
y^2)


We'll identify x = 1 and y =
2.


|z| = sqrt(1 +
4)


The absolute value of the complex number z
is: |z|  = sqrt 5.
