The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (C) : nowhere

Fig. 

|z| = 3
arg(z-1) - arg(z+1) = π/4
\(∠AKL = ∠ACB = \frac{π}{4}\)
⇒ LK = AL = α = 1
K(0,1)
Radius = \(\sqrt2\)
PL = PK + KL = \(\sqrt2 + 1\)
P(0,1 + \(\sqrt2\))
Therefore , Number of intersection = 0

Complex Number

A Complex Number is written in the form

a + ib

where,

  • “a” is a real number
  • “b” is an imaginary number

The Complex Number consists of a symbol “i” which satisfies the condition i^2 = −1. Complex Numbers are mentioned as the extension of one-dimensional number lines. In a complex plane, a Complex Number indicated as a + bi is usually represented in the form of the point (a, b). We have to pay attention that a Complex Number with absolutely no real part, such as – i, -5i, etc, is called purely imaginary. Also, a Complex Number with perfectly no imaginary part is known as a real number.
