Given the numerical statement:

| - 1 - i |

Determine the absolute value.

Solution:

The absolute value of any integer is equal to its positive value, hence, if we are given a negative number, its absolute value will be positive. Notice that we have an imaginary/complex number represented by the letter “i”, hence the same concept of absolute value applies, whereas the imaginary number will become positive.

= | - 1 - i |

= 1 + i

Final answer:

= 1 + i
