Complex complication

Algebra Level 5

z 1 z_1 and z 2 z_2 are two constant complex numbers such that z 1 z 2 = 5 \displaystyle | z_1 - z_2 | = 5 . A complex number, z z , satisfies the following equation.

z + z 2 + z 1 z 2 z z 1 z z 2 z 1 + z 2 2 + z z 2 + z 1 z 2 z z 1 z z 2 z 1 + z 2 2 = 10 \displaystyle | z + \sqrt{ z^2 + z_1 z_2 - zz_1 - zz_2 } - \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} | + | z - \sqrt{ z^2 + z_1 z_2 - zz_1 - zz_2 } - \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} | = 10

The locus of another complex number z 3 z_3 is given as :
For the equation tan ( arg ( z z 3 ) ) = tan ϕ \displaystyle \tan ( \text{ arg} ( z - z_3 ) ) = \tan \phi , there exists exactly one value of z z for two different values of ϕ \phi , ( ϕ 1 ( \phi _1 and ϕ 2 ) \phi _2 ) such that ϕ 1 ϕ 2 = m π + π 2 ; m Z \displaystyle | \phi _1 - \phi _2 | = m\pi + \frac{\pi }{2} \quad ; m \in \mathbb{Z} .
( The value of the complex number z z is not same for the two values of ϕ \phi but the number of solutions is unity for the two values. )

The value 2 z 3 z 1 z 2 \displaystyle |2z_3 - z_1 -z_2 | is found to be constant. Enter the answer as the square of the constant value.

Details and Assumptions:

  • arg ( z ) \text{arg }(z) gives the principal argument of a complex number z z .


The answer is 175.
