Find the absolute value of z is z= (2i-1)/(3+4i).

Given the complex number z =
(2i-1)/(3+4i)


We need to find the absolute values of z = l
z l.


First we need to simplify z and rewrite into the
standard form z= a+ bi.


First we will multiply both
numerator and denominator by (3-4i).


==> z =
(-1+2i)(3-4i)/(3+4i)(3-4i)


         = (-3 +4i +6i -8i^2)/(9
-16i^2)


But we know that i^2 =
-1


==> z = ( -3+10i
+8)/(9+16)


          = ( 5+10i) /
25


==> z = (1/5) +
(2/5)i


Now we will calculate the absolute
values.


We know that l zl =
sqrt(a^2+b^2)


==> l z l = sqrt(1/5)^2 +
(2/5)^2


                = sqrt(1+4)/25 = sqrt5 /
5


==> l z l = sqrt5 / 5 =
1/sqrt5

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
