Mathematics Question on complex numbers
Let O be the origin and A be the point z1=1+2i. If B is the point z2,Re(z2)<0, such that OAB is a right angled isosceles triangle with OB as hypotenuse, then which of the following is NOT true?
A
arg z2=π–tan−13
B
(arg)(z1−2z2)=−tan−134
C
∣z2∣=10
D
∣2z1−z2∣=5
Answer
∣2z1−z2∣=5
Explanation
Solution
(1+2i)−0z2−0=∣OA∣∣OB∣e4iπ
⇒1+2iz2=2eiπ4
z2=(1+2i)(1+i)
z2=−1+3i
arg z2=π–tan−13
∣z2∣=10
z1–2z2=(1+2i)+2–6i
z1–2z2=3–4i
arg (z1−2z2)=−tan−134
∣2z1−z2∣=∣2+4i+1−3i∣
∣2z1−z2∣=∣3+i∣
=10
So, the correct option is (D): ∣2z1−z2∣=5
