Let z be those complex numbers which satisfy

| z + 5 | ≤\le 4 and z(1 + i) + z‾\overline z (1 −- i) ≥\ge −- 10, i = −1\sqrt { - 1} .

If the maximum value of | z + 1 |2 is α\alpha + β\beta 2\sqrt 2 , then the value of ( α\alpha + β\beta ) is ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let, z = x + iy

Given, z(1 + i) + z‾\overline z (1 −- i) ≥\ge −- 10

⇒\Rightarrow z + z‾\overline z + i (z −- z‾\overline z ) ≥\ge −- 10

⇒\Rightarrow 2x + i (2iy) ≥\ge −- 10

⇒\Rightarrow x + i2 y ≥\ge −- 5

⇒\Rightarrow x −- y ≥\ge −- 5 ...... (1)

Also given, | z + 5 | ≤\le 4

⇒\Rightarrow | z −- ( −- 5 + 0i) | ≤\le 4 ...... (2)

It represents a circle whose center at ( −- 5, 0) and radius 4. z is inside of the circle. JEE Main 2021 (Online) 26th February Evening Shift Mathematics - Complex Numbers Question 109 English Explanation

From (1) and (2) z is the shaded region of the diagram.

Now, | z + 1 | = | z −- ( −- 1 + 0 i) | = distance of z from ( −- 1, 0).

Clearly 'p' is the required position of 'z' when | z + 1 | is maximum.

∴\therefore P ≡\equiv ( −- 5 −- 4 cos45 ∘^\circ , 0 −- 4sin45 ∘^\circ ) = ( −- 5 −- 2 2\sqrt 2 , −- 2 2\sqrt 2 )

∴\therefore (PQ)2|max = 32 + 16 2\sqrt 2

⇒\Rightarrow α\alpha = 32

⇒\Rightarrow β\beta = 16

Thus, α\alpha + β\beta = 48
