∣ β ∣ = 1 or, β β ˉ = 1 .
Now, ∣ 1 − α ˉ β β − α ∣ = ∣ β β ˉ − α ˉ β β − α ∣ = ∣ β ( β ˉ − α ˉ ) β − α ∣ = ∣ β ∣ 1 × ∣ β ˉ − α ˉ ∣ ∣ β − α ∣ = 1

As given in the question, ∣ β ∣ = 1
But, β β ˉ = ∣ β ∣ 2 β β ˉ = 1
Now in the given equation, put β = β ˉ 1
So, ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α ˉ β β − α ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α ˉ β ˉ 1 β ˉ 1 − α ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α ˉ β β − α ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ β ˉ − α ˉ 1 − α β ˉ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α ˉ β β − α ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α β ˉ β ˉ − α ˉ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 1
Now, clearly from the last expression you can see that the two terms are conjugates of each other. So, their product can be given by,
∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α ˉ β β − α ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 = 1
Now, since this is the square of a positive number, so,
∣ ∣ ∣ 1 − α ˉ β β − α ∣ ∣ ∣ = 1
CHEERS!!:)
