Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : a circle

Concept:

Let z = x + iy be a complex number.

Modulus of z\(\left| {\rm{z}} \right| = \sqrt {{{\rm{x}}^2} + {{\rm{y}}^2}} = \sqrt {{\rm{Re}}{{\left( {\rm{z}} \right)}^2} + {\rm{\;Im\;}}{{\left( {\rm{z}} \right)}^2}} \)

\(\left| {\frac{{{{\rm{z}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{z}}_2}}}} \right| = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{\left| {{{\rm{z}}_1}} \right|}}{{\left| {{{\rm{z}}_2}} \right|}},{\rm{\;}}\left| {{{\rm{z}}_2}} \right| \ne 0\)

 

 

Equation of a circle

  • The equation of a circle whose centre is at a point having affix z0 and radius r is |z - z0| = r
  • If the centre of the circle is at origin and radius r, then its equation is |z| = r

 

Calculation:

Given: |z| = 1

Let z' = \(\rm \frac 2 z\)

Taking the mod of both sides, we get

⇒ |z'| = \(\rm \left| \frac 2 z \right|\)

⇒ |z'| = \(\rm \frac {|2|}{| z|}\)

⇒ |z'| = \(\frac 21\)            (∵  |z| = 1)

⇒ |z'| = 2

it will be a circle of radius 2 units and with centre as origin.
