Question

How do you simplify `abs(8 - 6i )`?

Answer 1

`abs(8-6i)=color(green)(10)`

Explanation:

The absolute value of a complex number is the distance of the point represented by that complex number (in the Complex plane) from the origin.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
`color(white)("XXX")abs(8-6i)=sqrt(8^2+(-6)^2)=sqrt(64+36) = sqrt(100 = 10`
