The number of values of z ∈ ℂ , satisfying the equations...

The number of values of z∈Cz \in \mathbb{C}, satisfying the equations ∣z−(4+8i)∣=10|z-(4+8i)|=\sqrt{10} and ∣z−(3+5i)∣+∣z−(5+11i)∣=45|z-(3+5i)|+|z-(5+11i)|=4\sqrt{5}, is:

Options

  1. A00
  2. B22
  3. C11
  4. D44

Correct answer

B. 22

Step-by-step solution

The first equation ∣z−(4+8i)∣=10|z-(4+8i)|=\sqrt{10} represents a circle with center C(4,8)C(4, 8) and radius r=10r = \sqrt{10}.

The second equation ∣z−(3+5i)∣+∣z−(5+11i)∣=45|z-(3+5i)|+|z-(5+11i)|=4\sqrt{5} represents an ellipse with foci at S1(3,5)andS2(5,11)S_1(3, 5) and S_2(5, 11), and length of the major axis 2a=452a = 4\sqrt{5}.

The distance between the foci is 2ae=(5−3)2+(11−5)2=4+36=40=2102ae = \sqrt{(5-3)^2 + (11-5)^2} = \sqrt{4+36} = \sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10}.

The center of the ellipse is the midpoint of the line segment joining the foci, which is (3+52,5+112)=(4,8)\left(\dfrac{3+5}{2}, \dfrac{5+11}{2}\right) = (4, 8). This is the same as the center of the circle.

The semi-major axis is a=25a = 2\sqrt{5}, so a2=20a^2 = 20.

The semi-minor axis bb is given by b2=a2−(ae)2=20−10=10b^2 = a^2 - (ae)^2 = 20 - 10 = 10, which gives b=10b = \sqrt{10}.

Since the circle and the ellipse are concentric and the radius of the circle r=10r = \sqrt{10} is equal to the semi-minor axis bb of the ellipse, the circle is inscribed in the ellipse and touches it exactly at the two endpoints of the minor axis.

Therefore, there are exactly 22 points of intersection, meaning there are 22 values of zz satisfying both equations.
