The minimum value of the expression 3 z - 3 + 2 z - 4 is equal to (where, z is a complex number)
Options
- A2
- B1.5
- C3
- D1
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
Given expression is, 3 z - 1 + 2 z - 2 = z - 1 + 2 z - 1 + z - 2 Now, minimum z - 1 + z - 2 is equal to 1 when z lies on the line segment joining 1 & 2 and minimum z - 1 is equals to 0 , when z = 1 ⇒ Minimum of z - 1 + 2 z - 1 + z - 2 is equal to 0 + 2 1 = 2 at z = 1
