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.
