Let the curve , divide the region into two parts of areas and . Then equals :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Convert the complex line into Cartesian form
Let
Given
Now,
and
Adding,
So the curve is
Thus the given curve is the straight line
- Interpret the region
Since means the complex number , the region is the circle with center and radius .
So we need the areas into which the line divides this disk.
- Find the distance of the center from the line
The line is
Distance of point from this line is
Since the line cuts the circle into two unequal parts.
- Use the formula for area cut by a chord
For a circle of radius , if a chord is at distance from the center, then the area of the smaller segment is
Here,
Hence
Now,
and
Therefore,
=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12.$$ The total area of the circle is $$\pi r^2=\pi.$$ So the larger segment area is $$A_l=\pi-A_s=\pi-\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12\right)=\frac{3\pi}{4}+\frac12.$$ --- 5. **Compute $|\alpha-\beta|$** The difference of the two parts is $$|\alpha-\beta|=A_l-A_s.$$ So, $$|\alpha-\beta|=\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}+\frac12\right)-\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12\right) =\frac{\pi}{2}+1.$$ Thus, $$|\alpha-\beta|=1+\frac{\pi}{2}.$$ --- 6. **Match with options** This is **Option C**. --- 7. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **C** Derived answer: **C** So the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.More from Complex Numbers
