If the locus of z∈C, such that Re(z–12z+i)+Re(z––12z–-i)=2, is a circle of radius r and center (a, b), then 15abr2 is equal to: [2025]
(4)
We have, Re(z–12z+i)+Re(z––12z–-i)=2
⇒ Re(z–12z+i)+Re(z–1¯2z+i)=2 [∵ (z–1¯2z+i)=z¯–12z¯–i]
⇒ 2Re(z–12z+i)=2 ⇒ Re(z–12z+i)=1
Let z = x + iy
Re((x–1)+iy2x+i(2y+1))=1
⇒ Re[((x–1)+iy)(2x–i(2y+1))(2x+i(2y+1))(2x–i(2y+1))]=1
⇒ 2x(x–1)+y(2y+1)4x2+(2y+1)2=1
⇒ 2x2–2x+2y2+y=4x2+4y2+1+4y
⇒ 2x2+2y2+3y+2x+1=0
⇒ x2+y2+x+32y+12=0
∴ Centre=(–12,–34) and r=14+916–12=54
⇒ a=–12, b=–34, r2=516
∴ 15abr2=15×(–12)×(–34)×165=18.
