If z = 1 2 - 2 i , is such that | z + 1 | = α z + β ( 1 + i ) , i = - 1 and α , β ∈ R , then α + β is equal to

If z=12-2i, is such that |z+1|=αz+β(1+i),i=-1 and α,βR, then α+β is equal to
  1. -4
  2. 3
  3. 2
  4. -1

Solution

Given: z+1=αz+β1+i, z=12-2i

12-2i+1=α12-2i+β1+i

32-2i=α2-2αi+β+βi

94+4=α2+β+i-2α+β

Now, on comparing real and imaginary part we get,

52=α2+β+i-2α+β

2α=β, 52=α2+β

2α=β, 52=5α2

α=1, β=2

α+β=3
