Question 8, Exercise 1.2
Solutions of Question 8 of Exercise 1.2 of Unit 01: Complex Numbers. This is unit of Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Question 8(i)
Write $|2 z-i|=4$ in terms of $x$ and $y$ by taking $z=x+i y$.
Solution.
Given: $$|2z-i|=4.$$
Put $z=x+i y$, we have
\begin{align}
& |2(x+iy)-i|=4 \\
\implies & |2x+i(2y-1)|=4 \\
\implies & \sqrt{(2x)^2+(2y-1)^2}=4
\end{align}
Squaring on both sides
\begin{align}
& (2x)^2+(2y-1)^2 = 16\\
\implies & 4x^2+4y^2-4y+1-16=0 \\
\implies & 4x^2+4y^2-4y-15=0,
\end{align}
as required.
Question 8(ii)
Write $|z-1|=|\bar{z}+i|$ in terms of $x$ and $y$ by taking $z=x+i y$.
Solution.
Given:
$$|z-1|=|\bar{z}+i|.$$
Put $z=x+iy$, we have
\begin{align}
& |(x+iy)-1| = |(x-iy)+i| \\
\implies & |x-1+iy| = |x-i(y-1)| \\
\implies & \sqrt{(x-1)^2+y^2} = \sqrt{x^2+(y-1)^2}
\end{align}
Squaring both sides, we get
\begin{align}
& (x-1)^2 + y^2 = x^2 + (y-1)^2 \\
\implies & x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1 \\
\implies & -2x = -2y \\
\implies & x = y \\
\implies & x - y =0,
\end{align}
as required.
Question 8(iii)
Write $|z-4 i|+|z+4 i|=10$ in terms of $x$ and $y$ by taking $z=x+i y$.
Solution.
Given:
$$|z-4i| + |z+4i| = 10.$$
Put $z = x + iy$, we have
\begin{align}
& |(x + iy) - 4i| + |(x + iy) + 4i| = 10 \\
\implies & |x + i(y - 4)| + |x + i(y + 4)| = 10 \\
\implies & \sqrt{x^2 + (y - 4)^2} + \sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} = 10 \\
\implies & \sqrt{x^2 + (y - 4)^2} = 10 - \sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2}.
\end{align}
Square both sides:
\begin{align}
& x^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 100 - 20\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} + x^2 + (y + 4)^2 \\
\implies & y^2 - 8y + 16 = 100 - 20\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} + y^2 + 8y + 16 \\
\implies & -8y = 100 - 20\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} + 8y \\
\implies & 20\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} = 100 +8y +8y \\
\implies & 20\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} = 100 +16y \\
\implies & 5\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2} = 25 + 4y.
\end{align}
Square both sides:
\begin{align}
& \left(5\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 4)^2}\right)^2 = \left(25 + 4y\right)^2 \\
\implies & 25 \left(x^2 + (y + 4)^2\right) = 625 + 200y + 16y^2. \\
\implies & 25 \left(x^2 + y^2 + 8y + 16\right) = 625 + 200y + 16y^2 \\
\implies & 25x^2 + 25y^2 + 200y + 400 - 625 - 200y - 16y^2 = 0 \\
\implies & 25x^2 + 9y^2 - 225 = 0 \\
\implies & 25x^2 + 9y^2 = 225,
\end{align}
as required.
Question 8(iv)
Write $\frac{1}{2} \operatorname{Re}(i \bar{z})=4$ in terms of $x$ and $y$ by taking $z=x+i y$.
Solution. Given: $$\dfrac{1}{2} Re(i \bar{z}) = 4.$$ Put $z = x + i y$, then $\bar{z} = x - i y$.
We have
\begin{align}
& \dfrac{1}{2}Re(i(x-iy)) = 4 \\
\implies & \dfrac{1}{2}Re(ix+y)) = 4 \\
\implies & \dfrac{1}{2} y=4 \\
\implies & y=8,
\end{align}
as required.
Question 8(v)
Write $lm\left(\dfrac{z-1}{2 i}\right)=-5$ in terms of $x$ and $y$ by taking $z=x+i y$.
Solution.
Given $$lm\left(\dfrac{z-1}{2 i}\right)=-5$$
Put $z=x+i y$, we have
\begin{align}
&lm\left(\dfrac{x+iy-1}{2 i}\right)=-5\\
\implies & lm\left(\dfrac{x-1+iy}{2 i}\times \dfrac{i}{i}\right)=-5 \\
\implies & lm\left(-\dfrac{i}{2}( x-1+iy)\right)=-5 \\
\implies & lm\left(-\dfrac{(x-1)}{2}i+\dfrac{y}{2}\right)=-5 \\
\implies & -\dfrac{x-1}{2}=-5 \\
\implies & x-1=10 \\
\implies & x=11,
\end{align}
as required.
Question 8(vi)
Write $-2 \leq Im(z+i) \leq 3$ in terms of $x$ and $y$ by taking $z=x+i y$.
Solution.
Given $$-2 \leq Im(z+i) \leq 3.$$
Put $z=x+i y$, we have
\begin{align}
&-2 \leq Im(x+iy+i) \leq 3\\
\implies & -2 \leq Im(x+i(y+1)) \leq 3 \\
\implies & -2 \leq y+1 \leq 3
\end{align}
Adding $-1$ in the above inequalities
$$-3\leq y \leq 2,$$
as required.
