Absolute value of a complex expression












0












$begingroup$


I've been stuck on this problem for a while:



$$vert 1-e^{-i2pi f}+.5e^{-i2pi fcdot 2}vert^2,$$



where $i =$ the imaginary unit, $(2pi f) =$ a real value, and $(2pi fcdot 2)=$ a real value.



I just don't know how to begin.

    First off, what have you tried? Second, the notation is a little unclear. Some clarification would be helpful. And third, what exactly do you want out of this? This is not a polynomial, unlike what your title suggests.

    Hello LowEnergy, why is the expression in latex so huge? :)

    i = imaginary, (2*pi*f) = real value

    So it's the absolute value of a complex number....

    Yeah, I should've probably written complex value in the title.
