Suppose zC has argument θ such that 0<θ<π2 and satisfy the equation |z-3i|=3,  then what is the value of cotθ-6z?
  1. 2i
  2. i
  3. -i
  4. -2i

Solution

Given,

z-3i=3 which represents a circle with radius as 3 and centre as (0,3)

Now,

Z is lying anywhere on z-3i=3

From the figure below, we see that

OAB=90° (Angle subtended in a semi-circle)

So,

OA=ZOB=6

OA=OB sinθ eiθ

Z=6 sinθ eiθ

6Z=1sinθ (eiθ) 

6Z=1sinθ (cosθ +isinθ) 

By rationalising, we get

6Z=cosθ- i sinθsinθ (cosθ +isinθ)(cosθ-isinθ) 

6Z=cosθ- i sinθsinθ  

6Z=cotθ-i

cotθ-6Z=i.
