calculate the absolute value of z if z = 2z' -3+5i

We have the given equation z = 2z' - 3 +
5i


Let z = a + ib


z = 2z' - 3
+ 5i


=> a + ib = 2a - 2b*i - 3 +
5i


=> a + ib = 2a - 3 - 2b*i +
5i


equate the real and complex
coefficients


=> a = 2a - 3 and b = 5 -
2b


=> a = 3 and 3b =
5


z = 3 + (5/3)i


The absolute
value is sqrt (3^2 + (5/3)^2)


=> sqrt (9 +
25/9)


=> sqrt (
106/9)


=> (sqrt
106)/3


The absolute value of z is (sqrt
106)/3
