Complex nos..

If the imaginary part of expression z-1eiθ +eiθz-1is zero,then find locus of z

i tried by taking z-1eiθ =t ..another complex no.. but in vain..

plz suggest a better method

Let Z = z-1eiθ + eiθz-1

let z=x+iy
then z-1eiθ = ((x-1)+iy)e-iθ
and eiθz-1 = eiθ(x-1+iy)x2+y2

im(Z) = 0
=>y(cosθ) -(x-1)sinθ + (x-1)sinθ + ycosθx2+y2 = 0

dunno whether this will help

if any one has deep study material on complex nos can u plz email it to me karanmehtaforu@yahoo.com
it must have locus,arguments and tough questions

where does this lead us asish...
its a nice work[1]..but i dont think it helps ..[2]

Let W=(z-1)/eiθ

Let Z'=W+1/W=W+W/|W|2

Now arg(Z')=0

So from graph we have |W|=1

or |(z-1)/eiθ|=1 or |z-1|=1

so locus is (x-1)2+y2=1

See if I m missing something

its OK till arg(z')=0 but how lwl=1

I missed one thing
we have either |w|=1 or W is real

I found it for |w|=1, you do it for next part

Manish Shankar ·

W+1/W=x+iy+(x-iy)/(x2+y2)

Im part is zero implies y(1-1/(x2+y2))=0

or y(x2+y2-1)=0

this might clear your doubt

Now (z-1)/eiθ= real

implies arg(z-1)=argeiθ
or tan-1[y/(x-1)]=θ

or y=(x-1)tanθ

So I m getting the locus as

y=(x-1)tanθ
or (x-1)2+y2=1

i have a good method

z - z=2i(imginary part)

z - z=0

(z-1eiθ +eiθz-1) - (z-1ei[-θ] +ei[-θ]z-1) = 0

(z-1eiθ - z-1ei[-θ]) =(eiθz-1 -ei[-θ]z-1)

cancelling off and solving u get

(x-1)2+y2=1

sorry if there is any typo mistake
