Explanation:
"given a complex number "x+yigiven a complex number x+yi
"then the absolute value is"then the absolute value is
•color(white)(x)|x+yi|=sqrt(x^2+y^2)∙x|x+yi|=√x2+y2
4+2i" has "x=4" and "y=24+2i has x=4 and y=2
rArr|4+2i|=sqrt(4^2+2^2)=sqrt20=2sqrt5⇒|4+2i|=√42+22=√20=2√5
8i" has "x=0" and "y=88i has x=0 and y=8
rArr|8i|=sqrt(0^2+8^2)=8⇒|8i|=√02+82=8
-3+7i" has "x=-3" and "y=7−3+7i has x=−3 and y=7
rArr|-3+7i|=sqrt((-3)^2+7^2)=sqrt58⇒|−3+7i|=√(−3)2+72=√58
