Complex Number Absolute Value Formula: The absolute value of a complex number in the form a+bi is given by the formula ∣a+bi∣=a2+b2, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.
Substitute Real and Imaginary Parts: In the expression |\(-7i| ext{, the real part } a \text{ is } 0 \text{ and the imaginary part } b \text{ is } −7. \text{ Therefore, we substitute } a = 0 \text{ and } b = −7 \text{ into the formula.}∣−7i∣=02+(−7)2
Calculate Squares: We calculate 02 and (−7)2. Since 02=0 and (−7)2=49, we have:∣−7i∣=0+49
Simplify Square Root: Simplify the expression inside the square root: ∣−7i∣=49
Final Absolute Value Calculation: The square root of 49 is 7, so the absolute value of ∣−7i∣ is:∣−7i∣=7
