If z z =|z+ z | , where z=x+i y, i= -1 then the locus of z is a pair of :
Options
- AStraight lines
- Brectangular hyperbolas
- Cparabolas
- Dcircles
Correct answer
D. circles
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Since, z = x + iy & Now, ( x + iy )( x - iy )=| x + iy + x - iy | & x ^2-( iy )^2=|2 x | & x ^2+ y ^2=2 x x ^2-2 x +1+ y ^2=1 & ( x -1)^2+ y ^2=1 aligned So locus of z is circle
