Definition: Modulus of a Complex Number

The modulus (or absolute value) of a complex number, z = a + ib, is defined as the non-negative real number

√(a² + b²). It is denoted by |z| i.e. |z| = √(a² + b²)

Key Points: Modulus of a Complex Number

  1. |z| = √(a² + b²)
  2. |z| = 0 ⇔ z = 0
  3. −|z| ≤ Re(z) ≤ |z|; −|z| ≤ Im(z) ≤ |z|
  4. |z₁z₂| = |z₁| |z₂|
  5. \[\left|\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right|=\frac{|z_1|}{|z_2|}\], z₂ ≠ 0
  6. |zⁿ| = |z|ⁿ
  7. |z₁ + z₂|² = |z₁|² + |z₂|² + 2Re(z₁ z̄₂)
  8. |z₁ − z₂|² = |z₁|² + |z₂|² − 2Re(z₁ z̄₂)
  9. |z₁ + z₂|² + |z₁ − z₂|² = 2(|z₁|² + |z₂|²)
  10. |z₁ + z₂| ≤ |z₁| + |z₂|
  11. |z₁ − z₂| ≥ ||z₁| − |z₂||
  12. z·z̄ = |z|²
  13. z₁z̄₂ + z̄₁z₂ = 2|z₁||z₂| cos(θ₁ − θ₂), where θ₁ = arg(z₁) and θ₂ = arg(z₂)
