The correct Answer is:
To find the modulus of the complex number \[ z = \frac{(1 - i \sqrt{3})(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)}{2(1 - i)(\cos \theta - i \sin \theta)} \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the modulus of the numerator The numerator is \( (1 - i \sqrt{3})(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta) \). 1. **Find the modulus of \( 1 - i \sqrt{3} \)**: \[ |1 - i \sqrt{3}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] 2. **Find the modulus of \( \cos \theta + i \sin \theta \)**: \[ |\cos \theta + i \sin \theta| = \sqrt{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1} = 1 \] 3. **Combine the moduli**: \[ |(1 - i \sqrt{3})(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)| = |1 - i \sqrt{3}| \cdot |\cos \theta + i \sin \theta| = 2 \cdot 1 = 2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the modulus of the denominator The denominator is \( 2(1 - i)(\cos \theta - i \sin \theta) \). 1. **Find the modulus of \( 1 - i \)**: \[ |1 - i| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] 2. **Find the modulus of \( \cos \theta - i \sin \theta \)**: \[ |\cos \theta - i \sin \theta| = \sqrt{\cos^2 \theta + (-\sin \theta)^2} = \sqrt{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1} = 1 \] 3. **Combine the moduli**: \[ |2(1 - i)(\cos \theta - i \sin \theta)| = 2 \cdot |1 - i| \cdot |\cos \theta - i \sin \theta| = 2 \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot 1 = 2\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the modulus of \( z \) Now we can find the modulus of \( z \): \[ |z| = \frac{|(1 - i \sqrt{3})(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)|}{|2(1 - i)(\cos \theta - i \sin \theta)|} = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] ### Final Answer The modulus of the complex number \( z \) is \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} \]
