The correct Answer is:
To find the modulus of the complex number \((4 + 3i)/(5 - 12i)\), we can use the property of moduli of complex numbers. The modulus of a quotient of two complex numbers can be expressed as the quotient of their moduli. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complex Numbers**: Let \( z_1 = 4 + 3i \) and \( z_2 = 5 - 12i \). 2. **Apply the Modulus Property**: The modulus of the quotient is given by: \[ \left| \frac{z_1}{z_2} \right| = \frac{|z_1|}{|z_2|} \] 3. **Calculate the Modulus of \( z_1 \)**: The modulus of a complex number \( z = x + yi \) is given by: \[ |z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] For \( z_1 = 4 + 3i \): - Here, \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 3 \). - Therefore, \[ |z_1| = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] 4. **Calculate the Modulus of \( z_2 \)**: For \( z_2 = 5 - 12i \): - Here, \( x = 5 \) and \( y = -12 \). - Therefore, \[ |z_2| = \sqrt{5^2 + (-12)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 144} = \sqrt{169} = 13 \] 5. **Calculate the Modulus of the Quotient**: Now, substituting back into our modulus property: \[ \left| \frac{z_1}{z_2} \right| = \frac{|z_1|}{|z_2|} = \frac{5}{13} \] ### Final Answer: The modulus of the complex number \(\frac{4 + 3i}{5 - 12i}\) is \(\frac{5}{13}\). ---
