Answer: The distance between the complex numbers is approximately
\(14.8661\) or
√(221)

Explanation:

The distance between two complex numbers
\(a + bi\) and \(c + di\) is given by the formula:


$$√((c - a)^2 + (d - b)^2)$$

This formula is similar to the Euclidean distance formula in two dimensions, where
\(a\) and
\(b\) represent the x and y coordinates of the first point, and
\(c\) and
\(d\) represent the x and y coordinates of the second point.

In this case, the two complex numbers are
\(2 + 3i\) and
\(-8 + 14i\). So,
\(a = 2\), \(b = 3\), \(c = -8\), and \(d = 14\).

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:


$$√((-8 - 2)^2 + (14 - 3)^2) = √((-10)^2 + (11)^2) = √(100 + 121) = √(221)$$

So, the distance between
\(2 + 3i\) and
\(-8 + 14i\) is
\(√(221)\), which is approximately
\(14.8661\) or
√(221)
