AP EAMCET2016MathematicsComplex Number
The locus of the point representing the complex number z for which |z+3|^2-|z-3|^2=15 is
Options
- Aa circle
- Ba parabola
- Ca straight line
- Dan ellipse
Correct answer
C. a straight line
Step-by-step solution
Let the comlex number, z=x+i y Now, |z+3|^2-|z-3|^2=15 aligned & |x+i y+3|^2-|x+i y-3|^2=15 & (x+3)^2+y^2-(x-3)^2-y^2=15 & x^2+6 x+9-x^2+6 x-9=15 & 12 x=15 4 x=5 aligned It represents a straight line.
