How to show that absolute value of a complex number is invariant under complex conjugation?
my solution: Counterexample. $f(abs(1-i))= \overline{abs(1-i)}=\overline{1+i}=1-i \neq abs(1-i)$? is there something I am missing?

$|a+bi|=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=|a-bi|$ $|z|=\sqrt{z\cdot\overline{z}}=\sqrt{\overline{z}\cdot z}=|\overline{z}|$ |

You write $$f(abs(1-i))= \overline{abs(1-i)}=\overline{1+i}=1-i \neq abs(1-i)$$ your notation is strange you should write $$f(|1-i|)= \overline{|1-i|}=\overline{|1+i|}\neq1-i \neq |1-i|$$ you must know that $|a+bi|$ or absolute value of complex number is real number you miss that? |
