If arg(2z+zbar) = /4  then minimum value of mod( z+3+4i) + mod(z+2+i) = ?
a) 3
b) 23
c) 5
d)25
 
please tell me the answer with explanation?

Arg(2z + z bar)
 
= arg(2x+2yi+x-yi)
 
= arg(3x+yi)
 
= tan-1(y/3x)
 
= /4 [Given]
 
therefore, y/3x = 1
 
or, y = 3x
 
Now,
 
= mod(x + yi + 3 + 4i) + mod(x + yi + 2 + i)
 
= mod[(x+3) + (y+4)i] + mod[(x+2) + (y+1)i]
 
= mod[(x+3) + (3x+4)i] + mod[(x+2) + (3x+1)i]
 
= (x2 + 6x + 9 + 9x2 + 24x + 16) + (x2 + 4x + 4 + 9x2 + 6x + 1)
 
= (10x2 + 30x + 25) +  (10x2 + 10x + 5)
 
= 5 [ (2x2 + 6x + 5) + (2x2 + 2x + 1) ]
 
Now we have to find the minimum value of the variables under the root...
 
Inorder to find that, we convert them to perfect square.
 
The minimum value of perfect square is 0.
 
= 5 [  { (2x + 3/2)2 +  1/2  }  +   { ( 2x + 1/2 )2 + 1/2  }  ]
 
= (5/2) [  { (2x+3)2 + 1}  +  { (2x+1)2 + 1}  ]
 
Here the minimum value will not be 0 for both of them at any one particular valueof 'x'.
 
The minimum value of the two squares will exist at -1.
 
Thus, the minimum value will be:
 
(5/2) [2 + 2 ]
 
= 25

yes, it is easier by graph. We simply have to find the maximum sum of the distances of a point on the line y=3x from the points (-3,-4) and (-2, -1)

Will nip in at times to solve problems :)
