You’ll learn

  • Investigate modulus and conjugate claims with the LHS–RHS–conclude method
  • State the conclusion explicitly — skipping it can cost around 3 marks
  • Verify key identities like |z·z̄| = |z|² and |z₁·z₂| = |z₁|·|z₂|
  • Spot false claims such as z̄₁·z̄₂ = z₁·z₂ by comparing imaginary parts
