(iv) z bar = z-1

Best answer

(i) z = x + iy 

[Re(iz)]2 = 3 

⇒ [Re[i(x + iy]]2 = 3 

⇒ [Re(ix – y)]2 = 3

⇒ (-y)2 = 3 

⇒ y2 = 3

(ii) Im[(1 – i)z + 1] = 0 

⇒ Im [(1 – i)(z + iy) + 1] = 0 

⇒ Im[x + iy – ix + y + 1] = 0 

⇒ Im[(x + y + 1) + i(y – x)] = 0 

Considering only the imaginary part 

y – x = 0 ⇒ x = y

(iii) |z + i| = |z – 1| 

⇒ |x + iy + i| = | x + iy – 1| 

⇒ |x + i(y + 1)| = |(x – 1) + iy|

Squaring on both sides 

|x + i(y + 1)|2 = |(x – 1) + iy|2 

⇒ x2 + (y + 1)2 = (x – 1)2 + y2 

⇒ x2 + y2 + 2y + 1 = x2 – 2x + 1 + y2 

⇒ 2y + 2x = 0 

⇒ x + y = 0

(iv) z bar = z-1

⇒ |z|2 = 1 

⇒ |x + iy|2 = 1 

⇒ x2 + y2 = 1
