Problem
Let and be two complex numbers such that and Find
Solution
From the equation so Then which expands as Hence,
Taking the absolute value of both sides, we get Then so Then so Similarly,
Now, Alternative: We note that
Let , so that , or . The solutions are Then no matter which value of we use. Therefore,
Taking the absolute value of both sides, we get Then so Then so Similarly,
Now, Alternative: We note that
