Problem

Figure 2

Figure 2 shows an Argand diagram for complex numbers of the form z=x+iyz=x+\mathrm{i}y. The diagram is drawn accurately, although the scale is not shown on the axes.

Complex numbers that lie in the region RR, shown shaded in Figure 2, satisfy all three of the inequalities

z158ia\begin{align*} |z-15-8\mathrm{i}|\leqslant a \end{align*} 0arg(z+1)bπ\begin{align*} 0\leqslant \arg(z+1)\leqslant b\pi \end{align*} z+2iz+ci\begin{align*} |z+2\mathrm{i}|\geqslant |z+c\mathrm{i}| \end{align*}

where aa, bb and cc are real numbers.

(a) Determine the value of aa, the value of bb and the value of cc

(3)

Given that the complex number ww lies in the region RR,

(b) determine the exact range of possible values of w|w|

(3)

(c) determine the minimum value of argw\arg w, giving the answer in radians to 3 significant figures.

三个不等式分别对应圆、从 1-1 出发的射线夹角、以及两点距离比较形成的垂直平分线。图是按比例画的,所以可以从图形边界读出圆心、半径和直线位置。

The inequality

z158ia\begin{align*} |z-15-8\mathrm{i}|\leqslant a \end{align*}

represents a circle with centre (15,8)(15,8) and radius aa. From the diagram, the radius is 88, so

a=8\begin{align*} a=8 \end{align*}

The line bounding the argument region passes through (1,0)(-1,0) and (7,8)(7,8), so its gradient is

807(1)=1\begin{align*} \frac{8-0}{7-(-1)}=1 \end{align*}

Hence the angle is π4\frac{\pi}{4}, giving

b=14\begin{align*} b=\frac14 \end{align*}

The inequality

z+2iz+ci\begin{align*} |z+2\mathrm{i}|\geqslant |z+c\mathrm{i}| \end{align*}

compares distances from (0,2)(0,-2) and (0,c)(0,-c). Its boundary is the perpendicular bisector of these two points. From the diagram this boundary is the horizontal line y=8y=8, so

2+(c)2=82c=16c=18\begin{align*} \frac{-2+(-c)}{2} =&\,8\\[4mm] -2-c =&\,16\\[4mm] c =&\,-18 \end{align*}

Therefore

a=8,b=14,c=18\begin{align*} a=8,\qquad b=\frac14,\qquad c=-18 \end{align*}

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

w|w| 是点到原点的距离。最小距离在左下角点 (7,8)(7,8),最大距离在圆上沿着原点到圆心方向继续往外的点。圆心到原点距离是 1717,半径是 88

答题过程

展开

The minimum value of w|w| occurs at (7,8)(7,8):

wmin=72+82=113\begin{align*} |w|_{\min} =&\,\sqrt{7^2+8^2}\\[4mm] =&\,\sqrt{113} \end{align*}

The centre of the circle is (15,8)(15,8), so its distance from the origin is

152+82=17\begin{align*} \sqrt{15^2+8^2} =&\,17 \end{align*}

The largest possible distance from the origin to a point on this circular boundary is

17+8=25\begin{align*} 17+8=25 \end{align*}

Therefore the exact range is

113w25\begin{align*} \sqrt{113}\leqslant |w|\leqslant 25 \end{align*}

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

要让 argw\arg w 最小,就是让从原点看过去的斜率 y/xy/x 尽量小。区域最低是 y=8y=8,在这条边上越往右角越小,所以取点 (23,8)(23,8)

答题过程

展开

The minimum argument occurs at the point (23,8)(23,8). Therefore

argwmin=arctan(823)=0.335 radians\begin{align*} \arg w_{\min} =&\,\arctan\left(\frac{8}{23}\right)\\[4mm] =&\,0.335\ \text{radians} \end{align*}

to 3 significant figures.
