If for z=α+iβ, ∣z+2∣=z+4(1+i), then α+β and αβ are the roots of the equation:
- A.
x2+3x−4=0
- B.
x2+7x+12=0
(Correct Answer) - C.
x2+x−12=0
Correct Answer: x2+7x+12=0
Explanation
Given: ∣z+2∣=z+4(1+i)
Also, z=α+iβ
∴∣z+2∣=∣α+iβ+2∣=(α+iβ)+4+4i
⇒∣(α+2)+iβ∣=(α+4)+i(β+4)
⇒(α+2)2+β2=(α+4)+i(β+4)
⇒β+4=0⇒β=−4
Now, (α+2)2+β2=(α+4)2
⇒α2+4+4α+β2=α2+16+8α
⇒4+4α+16=16+8α
⇒4α=4⇒α=1
So, α+β=−3 and αβ=−4
∴ Required equation is x2−(−3−4)x+(−3)(−4)=0
⇒x2+7x+12=0
Explanation
Given: ∣z+2∣=z+4(1+i)
Also, z=α+iβ
∴∣z+2∣=∣α+iβ+2∣=(α+iβ)+4+4i
⇒∣(α+2)+iβ∣=(α+4)+i(β+4)
⇒(α+2)2+β2=(α+4)+i(β+4)
⇒β+4=0⇒β=−4
Now, (α+2)2+β2=(α+4)2
⇒α2+4+4α+β2=α2+16+8α
⇒4+4α+16=16+8α
⇒4α=4⇒α=1
So, α+β=−3 and αβ=−4
∴ Required equation is x2−(−3−4)x+(−3)(−4)=0
⇒x2+7x+12=0
