The correct Answer is:
To find the modulus of the complex number \(\frac{1+i}{1-i} - \frac{1-i}{1+i}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the Expression We start with the expression: \[ Z = \frac{1+i}{1-i} - \frac{1-i}{1+i} \] To simplify this, we will take a common denominator. The common denominator is \((1-i)(1+i)\). ### Step 2: Rewrite with Common Denominator Rewriting the expression with the common denominator: \[ Z = \frac{(1+i)(1+i) - (1-i)(1-i)}{(1-i)(1+i)} \] ### Step 3: Expand the Numerator Now, we will expand the numerator: \[ (1+i)(1+i) = 1 + 2i + i^2 = 1 + 2i - 1 = 2i \] \[ (1-i)(1-i) = 1 - 2i + i^2 = 1 - 2i - 1 = -2i \] So, the numerator becomes: \[ 2i - (-2i) = 2i + 2i = 4i \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Denominator Next, we simplify the denominator: \[ (1-i)(1+i) = 1^2 - i^2 = 1 - (-1) = 2 \] ### Step 5: Combine the Results Now we can combine the results: \[ Z = \frac{4i}{2} = 2i \] ### Step 6: Find the Modulus To find the modulus of \(Z\), we use the formula for the modulus of a complex number \(x + iy\): \[ |Z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] In our case, \(Z = 0 + 2i\), so \(x = 0\) and \(y = 2\): \[ |Z| = \sqrt{0^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{0 + 4} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the modulus of the complex number is: \[ \boxed{2} \]
