Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given the expression for ww as :

w=zz¯+k1z+k2iz+λ(1+i),where k1,k2∈R.

1. If w=x+iyw = x+iy , we can separate this into the real and imaginary parts :

The real part is: Re(w)=x2+y2+k1x−k2y+λ=0.

The imaginary part is: Im(w)=k1y+k2x+λ=0.

2. We know the circle C of radius 1 touches the line y=1y=1 and the y-axis. The standard form of the equation of a circle is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 , where (h,k)(h, k) is the center of the circle and rr is the radius. If the circle touches y-axis, then the x-coordinate of the center hh must be equal to the radius. Also, the circle touches the line y=1y=1 , so the y-coordinate of the center kk must be 1 unit above this line, hence k=2k=2 . So the circle's equation is (x−1)2+(y−2)2=1(x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 1 .

3. By comparing this with Re(w)=0\text{Re}(w) = 0 , we can see that k1=−2k_1=-2 , k2=4k_2=4 , and λ=4\lambda=4 .

4. The equation for the curve Im(w)=0\text{Im}(w)=0 becomes −2y+4x+4=0-2y + 4x + 4 = 0 , which simplifies to y=2x+2y = 2x + 2 .

5. To find the intersection points A and B, we solve the system of equations consisting of the circle and the line. Substituting y=2x+2y = 2x + 2 into the equation of the circle gives 5x2−2x=05x^2 - 2x = 0 , with solutions x=0x = 0 and x=2/5x = 2/5 .

6. Substituting x=0x = 0 and x=2/5x = 2/5 into y=2x+2y = 2x + 2 gives y=2y = 2 and y=6/5y = 6/5 respectively. So, the intersection points are A = (0,2)(0, 2) and B = (2/5,14/5)(2/5, 14/5) .

7. The distance between A and B is AB=[(2/5)2+(4/5)2]=4/5AB = \sqrt{[(2/5)^2 + (4/5)^2]} = \sqrt{4/5} .

8. Finally, 30(AB)2=30×(4/5)=2430(AB)^2 = 30 \times (4/5) = 24 .
