Let z = x + iy be a non-zero complex number such that z 2 = i z 2 , where i = - 1 , then z lies on the :
Options
- Aline, y = - x
- Bimaginary axis
- Cline, y = x
- Dreal axis
Correct answer
C. line, y = x
Step-by-step solution
x + i y 2 = i x 2 + y 2 ⇒ x 2 - y 2 + 2 i x y = i ( x 2 + y 2 ) compare real and imaginary parts ⇒ x = y
