Exam questions on Loci and regions in the Argand diagram

  1. The complex number zz satisfies ∣z−3+4i∣=5|z-3+4i|=5.
    Find the greatest value of ∣z∣|z| for points on the locus.2 marks
  2. The complex number z=x+iyz=x+iy satisfies ∣z−2∣=∣z+4i∣|z-2|=|z+4i|.
    Find, in terms of xx and yy, the inequality satisfied by points in the region ∣z−2∣≤∣z+4i∣|z-2|\le|z+4i|.2 marks
  3. The complex number zz satisfies arg⁡(z−2+i)=π3\arg(z-2+i)=\frac\pi3, and LL is the locus of zz.
