Correct answer: 22

  1. Interpret set AAA

Let z=x+iyz=x+iyz=x+iy.

Given ∣z−(2+i)∣=3|z-(2+i)|=3∣z−(2+i)∣=3 this represents a circle with center (2,1)(2,1)(2,1) and radius 333.

So in Cartesian form, ∣x+iy−(2+i)∣=3|x+iy-(2+i)|=3∣x+iy−(2+i)∣=3 ∣(x−2)+i(y−1)∣=3|(x-2)+i(y-1)|=3∣(x−2)+i(y−1)∣=3 (x−2)2+(y−1)2=9.(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=9.(x−2)2+(y−1)2=9.


  1. Interpret set BBB

We need Re⁡(z−iz)=2.\operatorname{Re}(z-iz)=2.Re(z−iz)=2.

First compute: z−iz=z(1−i).z-iz=z(1-i).z−iz=z(1−i).

Now put z=x+iyz=x+iyz=x+iy: z−iz=(x+iy)−i(x+iy).z-iz=(x+iy)-i(x+iy).z−iz=(x+iy)−i(x+iy).

Since i(x+iy)=ix+i2y=ix−y,i(x+iy)=ix+i^2y=ix-y,i(x+iy)=ix+i2y=ix−y, we get z−iz=x+iy−(ix−y)=x+y+i(y−x).z-iz=x+iy-(ix-y)=x+y+i(y-x).z−iz=x+iy−(ix−y)=x+y+i(y−x).

Hence, Re⁡(z−iz)=x+y.\operatorname{Re}(z-iz)=x+y.Re(z−iz)=x+y.

So set BBB is the line x+y=2.x+y=2.x+y=2.


  1. Find intersection points S=A∩BS=A\cap BS=A∩B

We solve (x−2)2+(y−1)2=9,(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=9,(x−2)2+(y−1)2=9, with x+y=2.x+y=2.x+y=2.

From x+y=2x+y=2x+y=2, we have y=2−x.y=2-x.y=2−x.

Substitute into the circle: (x−2)2+((2−x)−1)2=9(x-2)^2+((2-x)-1)^2=9(x−2)2+((2−x)−1)2=9 (x−2)2+(1−x)2=9.(x-2)^2+(1-x)^2=9.(x−2)2+(1−x)2=9.

Now, (x−2)2=x2−4x+4,(x-2)^2=x^2-4x+4,(x−2)2=x2−4x+4, (1−x)2=(x−1)2=x2−2x+1.(1-x)^2=(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1.(1−x)2=(x−1)2=x2−2x+1.

So, x2−4x+4+x2−2x+1=9x^2-4x+4+x^2-2x+1=9x2−4x+4+x2−2x+1=9 2x2−6x+5=92x^2-6x+5=92x2−6x+5=9 2x2−6x−4=02x^2-6x-4=02x2−6x−4=0 x2−3x−2=0.x^2-3x-2=0.x2−3x−2=0.

Thus, x=3±9+82=3±172.x=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9+8}}{2}=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{17}}{2}.x=23±9+8​​=23±17​​.

Then y=2−x=1∓172.y=2-x=\frac{1\mp\sqrt{17}}{2}.y=2−x=21∓17​​.

So there are two intersection points.


  1. Compute ∣z∣2=x2+y2|z|^2=x^2+y^2∣z∣2=x2+y2 for points on the line x+y=2x+y=2x+y=2

Using x+y=2,x+y=2,x+y=2, we write x2+y2=(x+y)2−2xy=4−2xy.x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2-2xy=4-2xy.x2+y2=(x+y)2−2xy=4−2xy.

So first find xyxyxy for the two roots.

Since y=2−xy=2-xy=2−x, xy=x(2−x)=2x−x2.xy=x(2-x)=2x-x^2.xy=x(2−x)=2x−x2.

But a cleaner way is to use the two points directly. Let the two xxx-values be roots of x2−3x−2=0.x^2-3x-2=0.x2−3x−2=0. Their sum is 333.

For each point, ∣z∣2=x2+(2−x)2=2x2−4x+4.|z|^2=x^2+(2-x)^2=2x^2-4x+4.∣z∣2=x2+(2−x)2=2x2−4x+4.

Therefore the sum over both points is ∑∣z∣2=2(x12+x22)−4(x1+x2)+8.\sum |z|^2 = 2(x_1^2+x_2^2)-4(x_1+x_2)+8.∑∣z∣2=2(x12​+x22​)−4(x1​+x2​)+8.

Now, x1+x2=3,x1x2=−2,x_1+x_2=3, \quad x_1x_2=-2,x1​+x2​=3,x1​x2​=−2, so x12+x22=(x1+x2)2−2x1x2=9−2(−2)=13.x_1^2+x_2^2=(x_1+x_2)^2-2x_1x_2=9-2(-2)=13.x12​+x22​=(x1​+x2​)2−2x1​x2​=9−2(−2)=13.

Hence, ∑∣z∣2=2(13)−4(3)+8=26−12+8=22.\sum |z|^2 = 2(13)-4(3)+8=26-12+8=22.∑∣z∣2=2(13)−4(3)+8=26−12+8=22.


  1. Final answer

∑z∈S∣z∣2=22.\sum_{z\in S}|z|^2=22.∑z∈S​∣z∣2=22.

The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
