Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Magnitude squared representation: |z|^2 = x^2 + y^2 quad textfor z = x + iy ### Core Logic Convert complex sets into Cartesian forms by setting z = x + iy: Set A: |(x-2) + i(y-1)| = 3 implies (x-2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 9 quad dots (1) Set B: z - iz = (x+iy) - i(x+iy) = (x+y) + i(y-x). operatornameRe(z - iz) = 2 implies x + y = 2 implies y = 2 - x quad dots (2) ### Step 1: Solve System Algebraically Substitute (2) into (1): (x - 2)^2 + (2 - x - 1)^2 = 9 implies (x - 2)^2 + (1 - x)^2 = 9 x^2 - 4x + 4 + 1 - 2x + x^2 = 9 implies 2x^2 - 6x - 4 = 0 implies x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0 Roots are x_1,2 = frac3 pm sqrt172. Correspondingly, y = 2 - x implies y_1,2 = frac1 mp sqrt172. ### Step 2: Evaluate Sum of Square Magnitudes Since S consists of the two intersection points z_1, z_2: sum_z in S |z|^2 = (x_1^2 + y_1^2) + (x_2^2 + y_2^2) = (x_1^2 + x_2^2) + (y_1^2 + y_2^2) Using identities from quadratic equation x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0 (x_1+x_2 = 3, x_1x_2 = -2): x_1^2 + x_2^2 = (3)^2 - 2(-2) = 13. Since y = 2-x, y^2 = 4 - 4x + x^2 implies y_1^2 + y_2^2 = 8 - 4(3) + 13 = 9. sum_z in S |z|^2 = 13 + 9 = 22 ### Pattern Recognition Avoid explicitly using radical root approximations. Summing symmetric expressions directly through standard Vieta coefficient sum shortcuts preserves clean fractions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Solution

Thus: = 0 ### Pattern Recognition This is a standard invariant of equilateral triangles. Any translation to center of mass coordinates leaves the shape invariant, making the sum of squares of coordinate vectors relative to the centroid equal to zero. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Complex Numbers

  • A. textboth are incorrect
  • B. textonly (S1) is correct
  • C. textonly (S2) is correct
  • D. textboth are correct

Solution

### Related Formula A complex number w is purely real if w = barw. A complex number w is purely imaginary if w + barw = 0. ### Core Logic Let's evaluate statement **(S1)**: w = fracz - iz + i If w is purely real, then w = barw: fracz - iz + i = fracbarz + ibarz - i (z - i)(barz - i) = (z + i)(barz + i) |z|^2 - iz - ibarz - 1 = |z|^2 + iz + ibarz - 1 -i(z + barz) = i(z + barz) implies 2i(z + barz) = 0 implies z + barz = 0 Since z + barz = 2textRe(z) = 0, z must lie on the imaginary axis (y-axis). Given the condition |z| = 1, the only points are z = i and z = -i. However, the domain excludes z = -i. Let's test z = i: For z = i, fraci - ii + i = 0, which is purely real. So it contains elements on the unit circle. But the condition z + barz = 0 alongside |z|=1 explicitly limits it to z=i only, which is one element, not two. Thus, (S1) is incorrect. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement S2 Let's evaluate statement **(S2)**: u = fracz - 1z + 1 If u is purely imaginary, then u + baru = 0: fracz - 1z + 1 + fracbarz - 1barz + 1 = 0 frac(z - 1)(barz + 1) + (z + 1)(barz - 1)(z + 1)(barz + 1) = 0 (|z|^2 + z - barz - 1) + (|z|^2 - z + barz - 1) = 0 2|z|^2 - 2 = 0 implies |z|^2 = 1 implies |z| = 1 This condition holds true for ALL points on the unit circle |z| = 1 except z = -1 (which makes the denominator zero). Because there are infinitely many points on the unit circle, the set contains infinitely many elements. Thus, (S2) is correct. ### Pattern Recognition Geometric shortcut: The transformation w = fracz-1z+1 maps the unit circle |z|=1 directly onto the imaginary axis textRe(w)=0. Hence, any point on the unit circle (except the pole at z=-1) satisfies the condition naturally. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

### Related Formula z + overlinez = 2operatornameRe(z) ### Core Logic Isolate the real fractional component block by conjugating the complex quotient matrix expression, then resolve the structural wave equations across bounds boundaries. ### Step 1: Expand Complex Real Operator frac2cos^2theta - 3sin^2thetacos^2theta + 9sin^2theta = -frac110 20cos^2theta - 30sin^2theta = -cos^2theta - 9sin^2theta ### Step 2: Factor Trigonometric Expressions 21cos^2theta - 21sin^2theta = 0 implies cos(2theta) = 0 ### Step 3: Collect Domain Solutions and Evaluate Squares Since angular coordinate parameters scan [0, 2pi], multi frequency vectors trace out: 2theta = fracpi2, frac3pi2, frac5pi2, frac7pi2 sum theta^2 = fracpi^216 + frac9pi^216 + frac25pi^216 + frac49pi^216 = frac84pi^216 = frac214pi^2 ### Pattern Recognition Transforming algebraic equations to clean forms like \cos(2\theta) = 0 guarantees evenly distributed coordinate solutions across standard periodicity ranges. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Complex Numbers Class 11 Mathematics: Trigonometric Functions

Numerical Answer. Answer: 10 to 10

Solution

### Related Formula Properties of cube roots of unity: 1 + omega + omega^2 = 0, quad omega^3 = 1 ### Core Logic Simplify the determinant by performing row operation R_1 to R_1 + R_2 + R_3: Delta = beginvmatrix z + 1 + omega + omega^2 & z + 1 + omega + omega^2 & z + 1 + omega + omega^2 \\ omega & z + omega^2 & 1 \\ omega^2 & 1 & z + omega endvmatrix Using 1 + omega + omega^2 = 0, the top row simplifies to vector [z, z, z]. Factoring out z: Delta = z cdot (z^2) = z^3 Given modulus constraint |z^3| = 1 implies |z| = 1. The root solutions are: z in \1, omega, omega^2\ ### Step 1: Evaluate Geometric Magnitude Metric The condition left|fracz - az + bright| = 1 implies |z - a| = |z + b|. This equation represents the perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting real coordinate points a and -b on the complex plane. Since a and b are integers, the bisector is a vertical line: x = fraca - b2. ### Step 2: Match Root Solutions and Count Pairs For z=1, it must lie on the line: fraca-b2 = 1 implies a - b = 2. For z = omega, omega^2, their real part is -frac12, so the line must be: fraca-b2 = -frac12 implies a - b = -1. Counting integer pairs (a,b) in [-3, 3]^2 with a+b neq 0: From a - b = 2: valid pairs are (3,1), (1,-1), (0,-2), (-1,-3). Note: (2,0) is valid, but a+b=2 neq 0. Total = 5 pairs. From a - b = -1: valid pairs match another 5 configurations. Combining both groups gives a final count of 10 pairs. ### Pattern Recognition Using matrix summation properties (1+omega+omega^2=0) helps simplify large complex variable equations quickly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Complex Numbers Class 12 Mathematics: Matrices and Determinants

  • D. ABO is an obtuse angled isosceles triangle

Solution
