If z=3−5i, find |z|.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of z is the distance between the point graphed from the complex number and the origin on a complex plane. In a complex plane, the x axis is replaced by R, real numbers, and the y axis is replaced by i, the complex part of the complex number. Our real number is positive 3 and the complex number is -5, so we go to the right 3 and then down 5 and make a point. Connect that point to the origin and then connect the point to the x axis at 3 to construct a right triangle that has a base of 3 and a length of -5. To find the distance of the point to the origin is to find the length of the hypotenuse of that right triangle using Pythagorean's Theorem. Therefore:

Answer:
77.76 times
Step-by-step explanation:
The average distance of Neptune from the sun
= 4.503 × 10 ⁹ k m .
and Mercury = 5.791 × 10 ⁷ k m .
Hence neptune is ( 4.503 × 10 ⁹) ÷ (5.791 × 10 ⁷ ) times farther from the sun than mercury
i.e.( ) × 10⁹⁻⁷ times
= 0.7776 × 10 ² times
= 77.76 times.
