The answer is α−dependant and it is also not fully free of β. It either depends upon Real(β) or Im(β). However the process of simplification may be as under: ∣ β ∣=1⇒( ∣β∣ )^2 =1⇒β β^− =1 Hence ∣ ((β−α)/(1−αβ)) ∣=∣ ((β−α)/(β β^− −α β)) ∣ (Replacing 1 by β β^− ) =∣ ((β−α)/(β ( β^− −α ))) ∣=∣ (1/β) ∣ . ∣ ((β−α)/(β^− −α)) ∣=(1/(∣ β ∣)) . ∣ ((β −α)/(β^− −α)) ∣ =∣ ((β−α)/(β^− −α)) ∣ ( ∣ β ∣=1 ) =∣ ((β−α)/(β^− −α)) −1+1 ∣=∣ ((β−α−β^− +α)/(β^− −α)) +1∣=∣ ((β−β^− )/(β^− −α))+1∣ Now β−β^− =2i[Re(β)] and β^− =−Re(β)+i[Im(β)^(−) =Re(β)−i[ Im(β) =∣ ((2i [Re(β)])/(Re(β)−i[ Im(β)−α)) +1∣ Here you can express Im(β) in terms of Re(β) or vice versa. As [ Re(β) ]^2 +[ Im(β) ]^2 =1 (∵ ∣β∣=1 ) So Im(β)=±(√(1−[ Re(β) ]^2 )) ∣ ((β−α)/(1−αβ)) ∣ = ∣ ((2i [Re(β)])/(Re(β)−i[ {±(√(1−[ Re(β) ]^2 ))}−α)) +1∣ Or ∣ ((β−α)/(1−αβ)) ∣=∣ ((2i {±(√(1−[Im(β)]^2 )) })/({±(√(1−[Im(β)]^2 )) }−i[ Im(β)−α)) +1∣

∣((β−α)/(1−αβ))∣^2 =(((β−α)/(1−αβ)))(((β^− −α^− )/(1−α^− β^− )))=((1+∣α∣^2 −αβ^− −βα^− )/(1+∣α∣^2 −αβ−α^− β^− )) depends upon α and β. The below variants of question can give different answer. ∣((β−α)/(1−α^− β))∣^2 =(((β−α)/(1−α^− β)))(((β^− −α^− )/(1−αβ^− )))=((1+∣α∣^2 −αβ^− −βα^− )/(1+∣α∣^2 −α^− β−αβ^− ))=1 ∣((β−α)/(1−αβ^− ))∣^2 =(((β−α)/(1−αβ^− )))(((β^− −α^− )/(1−α^− β)))=((1+∣α∣^2 −αβ^− −βα^− )/(1+∣α∣^2 −α^− β−αβ^− ))=1
