Complex Numbers and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to find the absolute value of a complex number. It begins with an introduction to the concept and the formula used: the absolute value of a complex number a + bi is the square root of a squared plus b squared. The instructor identifies the real and imaginary components of the given complex number, 4 + 3i, and demonstrates the calculation process step-by-step, resulting in an absolute value of 5. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps taken to reach the final result.

What is the first step in finding the absolute value of a complex number?

• Divide the real part by the imaginary part

• Subtract the imaginary part from the real part

• Multiply the real and imaginary parts
