Let S= z C : 4 z²+ z =0 . Then _ z S |z|² is equal to:
Options
- A5 64
- B1 16
- C3 16
- D7 64
Correct answer
C. 3 16
Step-by-step solution
Let z=x+iy . From 4z^2+ z =0 , separating real and imaginary parts: Real: 4x^2-4y^2+x=0 , Imaginary: y(8x-1)=0 . Case 1: y=0 x(4x+1)=0 z=0 or z=- 1 4 . Case 2: x= 1 8 1 16 -4y^2+ 1 8 =0 y^2= 3 64 . So |z|^2= 1 64 + 3 64 = 1 16 . |z|^2=0+ 1 16 + 1 16 + 1 16 = 3 16
