If a complex number z satisfies |z| = 1 and arg(z-1) = (2pi)/(3), then (omega is complex imaginarynumber)

Answer»

`z^(2) + z` is PURELY imaginary number
`z = - omega^(2)`
`z = - omega`
`|z-1| = 1` then,

Solution :We have
`|z|=1`
Thismeans that z lies on a circle whose centre is at ORIGIN and radius is 1.
Also ,`arg(z-1)= (2pi)/(3)`
Thisimpliesthatz lies ona ray emanating (1,0) making an angle of `(2pi)/(3)` with positive real axis.
`RARR /_PQX =(2pi)/(3)`
` rArr /_PQO = (pi)/(3)`
and OP=OQThus, triangle OPQ is equilaterl.

`rArr OP = OQ = PQ`
`rArr |z|=|z-1| =1`
Also `arg(z) = 60^(@)`
`therefore z = COS60^(@) + i sin 60^(@) = (1+ isqrt(3))/(2) = -omega^(2)`
`z^(2)= omega^(4) = omega`
`rArr z^(2) + z = omga - omega^(2) = ((-1+isqrt(3))/(2)) -((-1-isqrt(3))/(2)) = isqrt(3)`
Therefore , `z^(2) +z` is purely imaginary number .
