Q.

Let z1=2+3i and z2=3+4i. The set S={Z:|z-z1|2-|z-z2|2=|z1-z2|2} represents a          [2023]

1 straight line with the sum of its intercepts on the coordinate axes equals −18  
2 hyperbola with eccentricity 2  
3 hyperbola with the length of the transverse axis 7  
4 straight line with the sum of its intercepts on the coordinate axes equals 14  

Ans.

(4)

Let z=x+iy; z1=2+3i; z2=3+4i

|(x+iy)-(2+3i)|2-|(x+iy)-(3+4i)|2=|(2+3i)-(3+4i)|2

(x-2)2+(y-3)2-(x-3)2-(y-4)2=12+12

2x-5+2y-7=22x+2y=14x+y=7;

x intercept=y intercept=7;  sum of intercepts=14
