Problem 4: If The Point Represents + in The Argand
Problem 4: If The Point Represents + in The Argand
Solution:
Given 𝑧 = 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 and 𝑧 − 4𝑖 + 𝑧 + 4𝑖 = 10
⟹ 𝑥 + 𝑖 𝑦 − 4 + 𝑥 + 𝑖 𝑦 + 4 = 10
⟹ 𝑥2 + 𝑦 − 4 2 + 𝑥2 + 𝑦 + 4 2 = 10
⟹ 𝑥2 + 𝑦 − 4 2 = 10 − 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 + 4 2
𝑥2 + 𝑦 − 4 2
= 100 + 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 + 4 2
− 20 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 + 4 2
⟹ 4𝑦 + 25 = 5 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 + 4 2
16 𝑦2 + 200𝑦 + 625 = 25 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 8𝑦 + 16
⟹ 25 𝑥 2 + 9 𝑦 2 = 225
𝑥2 𝑦2
