Question

If |z| = 3, show that 7 ≤ |z + 6 – 8i| ≤ 13

Sum

Solution

Given |z| = 3

|z + 6 – 8i| ≤ |z| + |6 – 8i|

= `3 + sqrt(6^2 + 8^2)`

= `3 + sqrt(100)`

= 3 + 10 = 13

∴ |z + 6 – 8i| ≤ 13  ........(1)

|z + 6 – 8i| ≥ ||z| – |– 6 + 8i||

= |3 – 10|

= |– 7|

= 7

∴ |z + 6 – 8i| ≥ 7  .........(2)

From 1 and 2

we get 7 ≤ |z + 6 – 8i| ≤ 13

Hence proved.
