Let a complex number z, |z| ≠\ne 1,

satisfy log⁡12(∣z∣+11(∣z∣−1)2)≤2{\log _{{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}}}\left( {{{|z| + 11} \over {{{(|z| - 1)}^2}}}} \right) \le 2 . Then, the largest value of |z| is equal to ____________.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 5
  • B 8
  • C 6
  • D 7

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∣z∣+11(∣z∣−1)2≥12{{|z| + 11} \over {{{(|z| - 1)}^2}}} \ge {1 \over 2}

2∣z∣+22≥(∣z∣−1)22|z| + 22 \ge {(|z| - 1)^2}

2∣z∣+22≥ ∣z∣2−2∣z∣+12|z| + 22 \ge \,|z{|^2} - 2|z| + 1

∣z∣2−4∣z∣−21≤0|z{|^2} - 4|z| - 21 \le 0

(∣z∣−7)(∣z∣+3)≤0(|z| - 7)(|z| + 3) \le 0

⇒ ∣z∣≤7\Rightarrow \,|z| \le 7

∴\therefore ∣z∣max⁡=7|z{|_{\max }} = 7
