Given: s,t,r non-zero complex; sz+tzˉ+r=0
z=x+iy,x,y∈R,zˉ=x−iy
To find: which of the four statements are TRUE
sz+tzˉ+r=0
sˉzˉ+tˉz+rˉ=0
sz+tzˉ=−r
tˉz+sˉzˉ=−rˉ
Δ=ssˉ−ttˉ=∣s∣2−∣t∣2
If ∣s∣=∣t∣: Δ=0⇒unique solution
⇒L has exactly one element — statement (1) TRUE
If ∣s∣=∣t∣: Δ=0⇒no unique solution
consistent⇒line;inconsistent⇒empty
s=t=1, r=i: 2x=−i (impossible)⇒L=∅
∣s∣=∣t∣⇒infinitely many elements
⇒statement (2) is FALSE
L is ∅, a single point, or a line in C
more than one element⇒line⇒infinitely many — (4) TRUE
{z:∣z−1+i∣=5}=circle, radius 5, centre 1−i
L∩circle has at most 2 points — (3) TRUE
TRUE: (1), (3), (4)
