Mathematics Question on complex numbers
Let S be the set of all complex numbers z satisfying ∣z−2+i∣≥5. If the complex number z0 is such that ∣z0−1∣1 is the maximum of the set \left\\{\frac{ 1}{\left|z_{0}-1\right|}: z\,\in\,S\right\\}, then the principal argument of z0−z0−+2i4−z0−z0− is
A
−2π
B
4π
C
2π
D
−43π
Answer
−2π
Explanation
Solution
∣z−2+i∣≥5 z0−11 is maximum when ∣z0−1∣ is minimum Let z0=x+iy x<1 and y>0 z0−z0+2iˉ4−z0−z0ˉ =x+iy−x+iy+2i4−x−iy−x−iy =(y+1)2i4−2x=(y+1)−i(2−x) ∵y+12−x is a positive real number ⇒arg(z0−z0+2i4−z0−z0)=−2π
