Example of Complex Arithmetic
Let $z_1 = 1 - i$ and $z_2 = -2 + 4 i$.
Then:
- $\cmod {\dfrac {z_1 + z_2 + 1} {z_1 - z_2 + i} } = \dfrac 3 5$
Proof
\(\ds \cmod {\dfrac {z_1 + z_2 + 1} {z_1 - z_2 + i} }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \cmod {\dfrac {\paren {1 - i} + \paren {-2 + 4 i} + 1} {\paren {1 - i} - \paren {-2 + 4 i} + i} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \cmod {\dfrac {\paren {3 i} } {\paren {3 + 4 i} } }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \dfrac {\cmod {3 i} } {\cmod {3 + 4 i} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \dfrac 3 {\sqrt {3^2 + 4^2} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \dfrac 3 5\) |
