Modulus of a complex number

[alijan kk]

Homework Statement

if z=(x-iy)/(x+iy) then modulus of z is :

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

(x-iy)/(x+iy)= (x²-y²-2x(iy))/(x²+y²)

i can't get the real part and the imaginary part to take the modulus :

but the answer in any way could be = 1 ?

the answer in the book is 1 .

(x-iy)/(x+iy)= (x²-y²-2x(iy))/(x²+y²)

i can't get the real part and the imaginary part to take the modulus :

But you have it there. Simply split what you have on the right-hand side into real and imaginary parts.

i got one the answer,
thank you so much :)

It is easier to use that $|z_1/z_2| = |z_1|/|z_2|$

thanks alot, it was actually a multiple choice question, and you gave me a quicker way
