The value of $|z - 5|$if $z = x + iy$, is

A

$\sqrt {{{(x - 5)}^2} + {y^2}} $

B

${x^2} + \sqrt {{{(y - 5)}^2}} $

C

$\sqrt {{{(x - y)}^2} + {5^2}} $

D

$\sqrt {{x^2} + {{(y - 5)}^2}} $

Solution

(a)$z = x + iy$, then $|z – 5|\, = \,|x + iy – 5|\, = \,|x – 5 + iy|$
$ = \sqrt {{{(x – 5)}^2} + {y^2}} $.
