Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 364

Question: $ R(z^{2})=1 $ is represented by

Options:

A) The parabola $ x^{2}+y^{2}=1 $

B) The hyperbola $ x^{2}-y^{2}=1 $

C) Parabola or a circle

D) All the above

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ z=(x+iy) $ Þ $ z^{2}=x^{2}-y^{2}+2ixy $
Þ $ Re(z^{2})=1 $ Þ $ x^{2}-y^{2}=1 $ , which is a hyperbola.
