JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 4.1 complex nubers

For all complex numbers \(z\) of the form \(1 + i\alpha\), \(\alpha \in R\) , if \(z^2\, = x + iy\), then

  1. A \(y^2 -4x +2\,=0\)
  2. B \(y^2 +4x -4\,=0\)
  3. C \(y^2-4x -4\,=0\)
  4. D \(y^2 +4x +2\,=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y^2 +4x -4\,=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(z=1+i \alpha, \alpha \in R\) \(z^{2}=(1+i \alpha)(1+i \alpha)\) \(x+i y=\left(1+2 i \alpha-\alpha^{2}\right)\) On comparing real and imaginary parts, we get \(x=1-\alpha^{2}, y=2 \alpha\) Now, consider option \((b)\), which is \(y^{2}+4 x-4=0\) \(LHS\) : \(y^{2}+4 x-4\)…
