Correct answer: D
- Interpret the sets geometrically
Let This is the closed annulus centered at the point with inner radius and outer radius .
Now So consists of those points of the annulus which also lie on the circle centered at with radius .
Thus, we need to find how this circle intersects the annulus.
- Parametrize the circle defining
The circle has center and radius .
Take any point on this circle. We want to know whether it satisfies
The point is .
Distance between the centers:
So we have two circles:
- circle 1: center
- circle 2: center , radius
- distance between centers =
- Find possible values of for points on the circle centered at
Since lies on the circle centered at of radius , by triangle inequality, That is, so
But for membership in , we need
So among points on the circle , we must keep only those for which distance from is at most .
- Check whether there are finitely many or infinitely many such points
The circle centered at with radius is not entirely inside the disk because its farthest point from has distance .
It is also not entirely outside, because its nearest point from has distance .
Hence the circle passes through the disk in an arc, not just isolated points.
More precisely:
- the condition gives a whole circle,
- the additional condition selects a nonzero arc of that circle.
A nonzero arc contains infinitely many points.
Therefore, is an infinite set.
- Optional algebraic verification
Let From we get Now check points on this circle that also satisfy Squaring:
Using we get
\implies (x-1)^2+y^2+2y=0.$$ Then $$(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=(x-1)^2+y^2-2y+1.Since , this becomes So the annulus condition becomes
Thus
\implies -\frac34 \le y \le 0.$$ On the circle $$(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=1,$$ there are infinitely many points with $y\in\left[-\frac34,0\right]$ (indeed an arc of the circle). Hence $B$ is infinite. --- 6. **Conclusion** Therefore, the correct option is $$\boxed{\text{D: } B \text{ is an infinite set}}.$$More from Complex Numbers
