Determine the modulus of the complex number z=(3-i)/(3-2i)

The presence of the complex number from denominator is not
allowed. According to the rule, we'll transform the complex number from denominator into
a real number. For this reason, we'll multiply the ratio by the conjugate of the
denominator.


The conjugate of denominator is
3+2i.


The ratio will
become:


(3-i)/(3-2i) =
(3-i)(3+2i)/(3-2i)(3+2i)


We'll notice that the denominator
is a difference of squares:


(3-2i)(3+2i) = 9  -
4i^2


But i^2 = -1


(3-2i)(3+2i)
=  9 + 4


(3-2i)(3+2i) =
13


We'll remove the brackets from
numerator:


(3-i)(3+2i) = 9 + 6i - 3i -
2i^2


We'll combine like
terms:


(3-i)(3+2i) = 9 + 3i +
2


(3-i)(3+2i) = 11 + 3i


The
complex number z is:


z = (11 +
3i)/13


z = 11/13 + 3i/13


The
modulus of the complex number is:


|z| = sqrt [Re(z)^2 +
Im(z)^2]


|z| = sqrt[(11/13)^2 +
(3/13)^2]


|z| = sqrt
(121+9)/13


|z| = sqrt
(130)/13
