If a complex number z lie on a circle of radius
units, then the complex number
= - 1 + 4z will always lie on a circle of radius k units, where k is equal to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
2
(2)
Let us assume that z lies on a circle with center z 0 (fixed point) and radius
units.

Now, 

Now, taking modulus on both sides, we get,

Locus of
represents the circle having centre (-1 + 4z 0 ) and radius 2 units.
