Let u = 2 z + i z - k i , z = x + i y and k > 0 . If the curve represented by Re ( u ) + Im ( u ) = 1…

Let u=2z+iz-ki,z=x+iy and k>0. If the curve represented byRe(u)+Im(u)=1 intersects the y-axis at points P and Q where PQ=5 then the value of k is
  1. 32
  2. 12
  3. 4
  4. 2

Solution

u=2x+iy+ix+iyki=2x+2y+1ix+yki×xykixyki

Real part of u=Reu=2x2+2y+1ykx2+yk2

Imaginary part of u=Imux2y+12xykx2+yk2

Now Reu+Imu=1

2x2+2y+1yk+x2y+12xykx2+yk2=1

for y-axis put x=0

 2y+1ykyk2=1

 yky+1+k=0

y=k,1+k

Now point P0,k,Q0,1+k

PQ=2K+1=5

2k+1=±5

2k=4,6

k=2,3

Hence, k=2   k>0.
