graph |Z-1=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Z is a complex number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i mean |Z-1|=2 where Z is part of Complex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If yes, then u have to graph this on Argand plane?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1350907141864:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your expretion means: points on complex plane that have distance equal to 2 from point (1,0). Can you finish this now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1350907236296:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i know but. why can you view it as distance from two (1,0)? like if you have |Z1-Z2| why is that the distance between Z1 and Z2? what if its |Z1+Z2|?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U have to graph I z- 1I =2, put z=x+iy then u'll come to know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you treat complex plane like normal xy plane, just instead of x-coordinate and y-coordinate you have real part and imaginary part of a complex number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put z=x+iy then u'll come to know why distance is 2 from (1,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

real numbers (numbers on x axis) will be written like this (n,0). That's why 1 = (1,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imaginary numbers (0,n)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i wanna do just by looking at equation no sub points in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so think of it in temr of what modulus means. It's a distance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah what i mean is.. if you have |Z1-Z2|, you take that as distance from Z2 yeah?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what if you have |Z+1|=2, centre of circle going to be at (-1,0) because distance from points (-1,0) has to =2 because |Z+1|=|Z--1|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you need it to be in the form |Z1-Z2|??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesn't need to be in presisly this form. There are many ways to express circle equation. This, probably, is the most easy to see at a glance...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says that : points Z who's distance from z_0 is constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whch means--- circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|z-z_0|= constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!! but |Z1--Z2| why is difference of 2 points distance from Z2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one of the points is fixed, other point is generic. It means this other point is changing, with the condition that it's distance to fixed point is constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i understand that.. how about.. why is the fixed point always going to be Z2 in |Z1-Z2| why cant you have |Z1+Z2| the + and -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vector diference: |dw:1350907848618:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1350907949029:dw|z1+z2
