If is purely an imaginary number and z -1 then find the value of |z|.

Given: is purely imaginary number

Let z = x + iy


So,



Now, rationalizing the above by multiply and divide by the conjugate of [(x + 1) + iy]




Using (a – b)(a + b) = (a2 – b2)





Putting i2 = -1





Since, the number is purely imaginary it means real part is 0



x2 + y2 – 1 = 0


x2 + y2 = 1




|z| = 1
