Math Problem Statement
Describe the set of points in the complex plane that satisfy the inequality |z + 5i| ≤ |2z + 2 − 2i| ≤ |2z| (ii) Provide a hand sketch of this region. Show all working for intercepts and points of intersection. (iii) Give two points, one inside the region and one outside the region. For each point, mathematically show that they are inside (or outside) the region.
Solution
Step (i): Describe the set of points in the complex plane that satisfy the inequality.
We are given the inequality:
Let's break this down:
-
First inequality:
We will represent the complex number as , where and are the real and imaginary parts, respectively.
- , so .
- , so .
The inequality becomes:
-
Second inequality:
- , so .
The inequality becomes:
These two inequalities describe a region in the complex plane where the distances between and the points , , and follow the relationships given by the inequalities.
Step (ii): Sketch of the region
Now, let’s outline how to hand-sketch the region.
-
Graph the points involved:
- The first inequality compares the distance from to (which is ) and , a transformation of . This is the comparison of distances from to and a point that moves with .
- The second inequality involves and the origin , where is twice the distance from the origin to .
-
Intercepts and points of intersection: To find the intercepts and points of intersection, we can analyze specific points where the inequalities hold as equalities.
- For , substitute into both inequalities to check.
- For , check if it satisfies the inequalities.
- Find other points by solving for equal distances, setting and algebraically.
From this analysis, sketch the region bounded by these curves.
Step (iii): Points inside and outside the region
Let's choose two points:
-
Point inside the region:
- Calculate .
- Calculate .
- Calculate .
Since , point does not satisfy the inequality. Adjust the point accordingly.
-
Point outside the region:
- .
- .
- .
Since , point is outside the region.
Conclusion
- The region described by the inequalities involves complex geometric relationships between distances.
- To visually represent this, we can plot approximate points and distances in the complex plane.
