$$z= \sqrt{x^2+y^2}+ i\frac{\sqrt{2xy}}{x}-i+2i\sqrt{xy}$$ $(x,y>0)$

How do I solve this and find $|z|$

    Hint: $|a/b|=|a|/|b|$.2017-02-01

    What equation? That looks like a definition of $z$. Hint: write it as $z=a+ib$ with $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ then $|z|^2=a^2+b^2\,$.2017-02-01

    If $z=x+iy$ this has no solution. Typos?2017-02-04

If $\space\exists\space\text{s}\in\mathbb{C}$:

$$\left|\text{s}\right|=\left|\Re\left(\text{s}\right)+\Im\left(\text{s}\right)i\right|=\sqrt{\Re^2\left(\text{s}\right)+\Im^2\left(\text{s}\right)}\tag1$$

So, in your example ( assuming that $x\space\wedge\space y\in\mathbb{R}$ ):

$$\left|\text{z}\right|=\left|\Re\left(\text{z}\right)+\Im\left(\text{z}\right)i\right|=\sqrt{\Re^2\left(\text{z}\right)+\Im^2\left(\text{z}\right)}\tag2$$

And we know that:

  • $$\Re\left(\text{z}\right)=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\tag3$$
  • $$\Im\left(\text{z}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{2xy}}{x}-1+2\sqrt{xy}\tag4$$

So, we get:

$$\left|\text{z}\right|=\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\sqrt{2xy}}{x}-1+2\sqrt{xy}\right)^2}\tag5$$
