Exam questions on Loci in the Argand diagram

  1. A point PP representing the complex number zz moves so that ∣z−3+2i∣=4|z-3+2i|=4.
    Find the Cartesian equation of the locus of PP.2 marks
  2. A point PP representing the complex number zz moves so that ∣z−1∣=∣z−i∣|z-1|=|z-i|.
    The point PP also satisfies ∣z∣=4|z|=4. Find the exact possible values of zz.2 marks
  3. The locus LL of a point PP representing the complex number zz is given by arg⁡(z−2i)=π4\arg(z-2i)=\frac{\pi}{4}.
    Describe the locus LL geometrically and find its Cartesian equation.3 marks
