====== Question 4, Review Exercise ======
Solutions of Question 4 of Review Exercise of Unit 01: Complex Numbers. This is unit of Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan.
===== Question 4 =====
Locate the complex number $z=x+i y$ on the complex plane if $\left|\dfrac{z+2 i}{z-2 i}\right|=1$
** Solution. **
Given $z = x + iy$, then
\begin{align*}
& \left|\dfrac{z + 2i}{z - 2i}\right| = 1\\
\implies & |z + 2i| = |z - 2i|\\
\implies & |x + i(y + 2)| = |x + i(y - 2)|\\
\implies & \sqrt{x^2 + (y + 2)^2} = \sqrt{x^2 + (y - 2)^2}
\end{align*}
Squaring both sides, we have
\begin{align*}
& x^2 + (y + 2)^2 = x^2 + (y - 2)^2\\
\implies & (y + 2)^2 = (y - 2)^2\\
\implies & y^2 + 4y + 4 = y^2 - 4y + 4 \\
\implies & 4y +4y =0 \\
\implies & 8y=0 \implies y=0.
\end{align*}
Hence, we conclude $z=x+i \cdot 0$ $\implies z=x$.
