The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \[ \left| \frac{\alpha - \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta^*} \right| \] given that \(|\alpha| = 1\) and \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are different complex numbers. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Modulus Condition**: Since \(|\alpha| = 1\), we know that \(\alpha \overline{\alpha} = 1\), where \(\overline{\alpha}\) is the conjugate of \(\alpha\). 2. **Expressing the Modulus**: We can express the modulus of the fraction as: \[ \left| \frac{\alpha - \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta^*} \right| = \frac{|\alpha - \beta|}{|1 - \alpha \beta^*|} \] 3. **Using the Property of Modulus**: We know that for any complex number \(z\), \(|z| = |\overline{z}|\). Thus, we can write: \[ |1 - \alpha \beta^*| = |1 - \overline{\beta} \alpha| \] 4. **Substituting the Conjugate**: Since \(|\alpha| = 1\), we can also express \(\alpha\) in terms of its conjugate: \[ |\alpha|^2 = \alpha \overline{\alpha} = 1 \Rightarrow \overline{\alpha} = \frac{1}{\alpha} \] 5. **Finding the Modulus**: Now, we can rewrite the expression: \[ \left| \frac{\alpha - \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta^*} \right| = \frac{|\alpha - \beta|}{|1 - \alpha \beta^*|} = \frac{|\alpha - \beta|}{|1 - \overline{\beta} \alpha|} \] 6. **Final Simplification**: Since \(|\alpha| = 1\), we can conclude that: \[ \left| \frac{\alpha - \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta^*} \right| = 1 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, we find that: \[ \left| \frac{\alpha - \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta^*} \right| = 1 \]
