Correct answer: B
- We need the set
A complex number of the form is real iff its imaginary part is zero, equivalently
- Write numerator and denominator in terms of : so
Thus
- For this quotient to be real, multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
The numerator becomes
Its imaginary part must be zero.
Using with we get imaginary part
So, Simplify:
Also, denominator must be nonzero: If , this gives
Hence That is the -axis excluding the point .
- Now check the options.
-
B: This point is excluded because denominator becomes zero. So this is not correct.
-
C: This is true for all points in . So correct.
-
D: i.e. . This is correct.
-
A: The printed option appears malformed as or possibly intended as an equation involving . From the derived locus, the valid description is simply , so A does not match any standard equivalent form unless there is a typographical issue in the statement. However among the cleanly interpretable options, the excluded point in B is certainly the one that is not correct as a description/member of .
- Therefore the option which is NOT correct is
