Modulus of complex number and its Properties

If z = x + iy is a complex number. Then, the modulus of z, denoted by | z |, is the distance of z from origin in Argand plane, and it is a non-negative real number equal to \\\mathrm{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}

i.e. |z| =\\\mathrm{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}

Every complex number can be represented as a point in the argand plane with x-axis as real axis and y-axis as imaginary axis.

\left | z \right |=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=r (length r from origin to point (x,y))

 

Properties of Modulus

i)  |z| ≥ 0

ii) |z| = 0, iff z = 0 and |z| >0, iff z ≠ 0

iii) -|z| ≤ Re(z) ≤ |z| and -|z| ≤ Im(z) ≤ |z|

iv) \left | z \right |=\left | \overline{z} \right | = \left | -z \right | = \left | -\overline{z} \right |

v) z\overline{z}=\left | z \right |^2

vi) \left | z_1 z_2 \right | = \left | z_1 \right |\left | z_2 \right |. \,\,\,\,\,\,Thus,\left | z^n \right | = \left | z \right |^n

vii) |\frac{z_1}{z_2}| = \frac{|z_1|}{|z_2|}

viii) \left | z_1\pm z_2 \right | \leq \left | z_1 \right | + \left | z_2 \right | (Triangle inequality) this can be generalised for n complex numbers.

ix) \left | z_1\pm z_2 \right | \geq \left | \left | z_1 \right | - \left | z_2 \right | \right |
