The correct Answer is:
To find the modulus of the expression \(\frac{1+i}{1-i} - \frac{1-i}{1+i}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator We can combine the two fractions by finding a common denominator. The common denominator for \((1-i)\) and \((1+i)\) is \((1-i)(1+i)\). \[ \frac{1+i}{1-i} - \frac{1-i}{1+i} = \frac{(1+i)(1+i) - (1-i)(1-i)}{(1-i)(1+i)} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the numerator Now, we need to simplify the numerator: 1. Calculate \((1+i)(1+i)\): \[ (1+i)(1+i) = 1 + 2i + i^2 = 1 + 2i - 1 = 2i \] 2. Calculate \((1-i)(1-i)\): \[ (1-i)(1-i) = 1 - 2i + i^2 = 1 - 2i - 1 = -2i \] Now, substituting these results back into the numerator: \[ 2i - (-2i) = 2i + 2i = 4i \] ### Step 3: Simplify the denominator Next, we simplify the denominator: \[ (1-i)(1+i) = 1^2 - i^2 = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2 \] ### Step 4: Combine the results Now we can combine the results: \[ \frac{4i}{2} = 2i \] ### Step 5: Find the modulus Finally, we find the modulus of \(2i\): \[ |2i| = 2 \] ### Final Answer The modulus of \(\frac{1+i}{1-i} - \frac{1-i}{1+i}\) is \(2\). ---
