Manipal MET2018MathematicsComplex Number
Area of the triangle in the argand diagram formed by the complex numbers z, i z, z+i z , where z=x+i y is
Options
- A|z|
- B|z|^2
- C2|z|^2
- D1 2 |z|^2
Correct answer
D. 1 2 |z|^2
Step-by-step solution
Since, i z=z e^ i / 2 This implies that i z is the vector obtained by rotating vector z in anticlock wise direction through 90^ . O A A B So, area of O A B= 1 2 O A O B= 1 2 |z||i z|= 1 2 |z|^2
