Absolute Value of Complex Numbers Geometrically, the absolute value of a complex number is the number's distance from the origin in the complex plane.In the diagram at the left, the complex number 8 + 6i is plotted in the complex plane on an Argand diagram (where the vertical axis is the imaginary axis). For this problem, the distance from the point 8 + 6i to the … [Read more...] about Absolute Value of Complex Numbers
