    Why Does the Limit of |(h² + 4h)|/h Differ When Using Modulus Properties?

    lim as h->0 (|(h^2) + 4h |)/h comes out = 4 when i do it by splitting the definition of function according to modulus , but if according to distributive property of modulus , i can also write it as lim as h->0 (|h|/h)|((h) + 4|)) , but I am as h->0 (|h|/h) does not exist , so what's wrong?

    Properties of the modulus - complex variables question

    Given f(z) = (z+1) / (z-1) for z not equal to 1 My teacher wrote |f(z)| = |x+1+iy| / |x-1+iy| = sqrt((x+1)^2 +1) / sqrt((x-1)^2 + 1) How do the values within the modulus work out to the right hand side? I can't figure it out.
