JEE Main2004MathematicsComplex NumberActual
If |z^2-1 |=|z|^2+1 , then z lies on
Options
- Athe real axis
- Ban ellipse
- Ca circle
- Dthe imaginary axis.
Correct answer
D. the imaginary axis.
Step-by-step solution
|z^2-1 |^2= (|z|^2+1 ) (z^2-1 ) ( z ^2-1 )=|z|^4+2|z|^2+1 z^2+ z ^2+2 z z =0 z+ z =0 R(z)=0 z lies on the imaginary axis.
