But how ??

TMH says k is a positive real number ???

well for ||z - z1| - |z - z2|| = k to be hyperbola

k<|z1 - z2|

wer z1 and z2 r focuses of hyperbola

so k<√16+25=√41=6.4

so ACDE correct

Ya ure working is correct

But my doubt is

IS THERE ANY CONDITION SAYING K>O ??

TMH COMPLEX nOS Says so ??

i guess take mod both sides of the eq |z - 4| - |z - 5i| = k

so it becomes ||z - 4| - |z - 5i|| =| k|

now for it to be hyperbola |k|<|z1 - z2|

|k|<√41

so -√41< k<√41

i guess i made a mistake in post#5

but c pg 1.11

TMH

It says k is a +ve real no.

sorry i dun hav tmh

so i m not getting wat u r trying to say [2]

i guess it is that if k is +ve and k≠|z1-z2| then it represents hyperbola

it doesnt at all mean k cant be negative

that cond is wen k is +ve

thats how i reason it....maybe i m rong

UTTARA ·

I mean to say that k can take only positive values

UTTARA ·

may be even i am confused over this

??????

according to TMH
|z-z1|-|z-z2|=k
represent a hyperbola if k is +ve real nos.
and k≠|z1-z2| and also z1and z2are two focus of hyperbolaso according to above statement A,B,C should be the answer.....

K shud be a positive number if the eqn is given like this ||z-4| - |z-5i|| = k and k can be either positive or negative if the eqn is of the form |z-4| - |z-5i| = k

The equation will represent a hyperbola if the constant k is less than the distance between (4,0) and (0,5) i.e. √41. Hence, A, C, D, E.
