Question 1047975: Complex numbers
If z=rcis(theta) FIND: |iz^2|
I am confused about how I incorporate the i into the absolute value. I can't remember what it means. Please help and show exactly how I complete the workings. I can easily find the absolute value of z^2 I just really don't understand how to put the i into it.
Thank you!!

.
If z = a + bi, then iz = i*(a + bi) = ai + b*(i^2) = -b + ai.

So, iz is the complex number with the real part -b and the imaginary part ai.

Can you proceed from this point on your own?
