The complex plane is given. The horizontal axis is labeled "Re" and the vertical axis is labeled "Im". A point (8, 9) is graphed.
The complex plane is given. The horizontal axis is labeled "Re" and the vertical axis is labeled "Im". A point (9, 8) is graphed.
The complex plane is given. The horizontal axis is labeled "Re" and the vertical axis is labeled "Im". A point (−9, 8) is graphed.
Find the modulus r.
r =
Solution
The complex number given is .
Step 1: Locate the Point on the Complex Plane
In this case:
- The real part () is .
- The imaginary part () is .
So, the point on the complex plane is .
Thus, the correct answer for the location of the point on the complex plane is:
- The complex plane is given. The horizontal axis is labeled "Re" and the vertical axis is labeled "Im". A point (9, 8) is graphed.
Step 2: Find the Modulus
The modulus of a complex number is given by the formula:
For :
So, the modulus is:
If you'd like more details or have any questions, feel free to ask!
Here are some additional questions to deepen your understanding:
- What is the argument (angle) of this complex number on the complex plane?
- How do you graph complex numbers with negative imaginary parts?
- How does the modulus change if the complex number is ?
- What is the relationship between the modulus and distance from the origin?
- How would the complex number look in polar form?
Tip: The modulus of a complex number tells you how far the point is from the origin on the complex plane.
