It is given that \(\abs{z-1+i}=2\).

What is the maximum possible value of \(\abs{z}\)?

  1. \(\sqrt{2}\)
  2. \(\sqrt{10}\)
  3. \(2+\sqrt{2}\)
  4. \(2-\sqrt{2}\)
Show Answers Only

\(C\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\abs{z-1+i}=2 \ \Rightarrow \ \text{circle centre} \ \ (1,-i), \ \ \text {radius}=2\)
 
 

\(OA=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{2}\)

\(AB=2 \ \ \text{(radius)}\)

\(\therefore \abs{z}_{\text{max}}=2+\sqrt{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow C\)

A shaded region on a complex plane is shown.
 

Which relation best describes the region shaded on the complex plane?

  1. \(|z-i|>2|z-1|\)
  2. \(|z-i|<2|z-1|\)
  3. \(|z-1|>2|z-i|\)
  4. \(|z-1|<2|z-i|\)

\(D\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{By elimination:}\)

\(\text{Let}\ \ z=x+iy \ \ (x,y \in \mathbb{R}) \)

\(\text{Since shaded area is outside the circle, coefficients of}\ x^2\ \text{and} \)

\( y^2\ \text{must be positive (eliminate A and C).}\)

♦♦ Mean mark 34%.

\(\text{Consider option D:}\)

\(|z-1|\) \(<2|z-i|\)  
\((x-1)^2+y^2\) \(<4(x^2+(y-1)^2) \)  
\(x^2-2x+1+y^2\) \(<4x^2+4y^2-8y+4\)  
\(0\) \(<3x^2+2x+3y^2-8y+3\)  

 
\(\text{Circle equation has centre where}\ \ x<0, y>0. \)

\(\Rightarrow D\)
