Question:
The complex number $z = x + iy$ which satisfies the equation $| z + 1 | = 1$ lies on
The complex number $z = x + iy$ which satisfies the equation $| z + 1 | = 1$ lies on
Updated On: Jul 7, 2022
- $x$-axis
- a circle with $(-1, 0)$ as the centre and radius $1$
- $y$-axis
- none of these
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$\left|z+1\right|\left|x+iy+1\right|=1$
$\Rightarrow \left(x+1\right)^{2}+y^{2}=1$
which is a circle with centre $(-1, 0)$ and radius $1$.

Notes on complex numbers
Concepts Used:
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.
