You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the absolute value of the complex number:
√(11) + i√(5)
If you could explain how to do it that would be great!!
------
That means::
1st: Plot the point (sqrt(11) , sqrt(5)) on a RealNumber/Imaginary coordinate
system.
2nd: Then find the distance from (0,0) to (sqrt(11) , sqrt(5)).
------
Use Pythagoras::
|sqrt(11)+isqrt(5)| = sqrt[[sqrt(11)]^2 + [sqrt(5)]^2] = sqrt[11+5] = 4
