Found an error in my answer:
|x+j*y| = sqrt(x^2+y^2)
What are you studying Jasmincar?[/quote]
Oh I didnt read that before posting. Now it works. thanks
Now that I currently have no jobs and not at school I am trying to go as far as I can in Maths before starting school again. I got a bunch of books and 6 months.
sigma*(x,y)=t*abs(x,y). They say this is real. I dont understand

I think what they are trying to get at here is |x+j*y| = (x+jy)(x-jy)
Therefore the magnitude of a complex number is equal to the product of it with its complex conjugate (x^2+j xy - j xy - j^2y^2) = (x^2+y^2) which is a real number.
Complex conjugates will be symmetric about the real axis (x). This is invariable to a scaling such that a*|x+jy| = a(x^2+y^2)

Yes. The product of a complex number with its conjugate is always real.
