TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

6 The loci \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\) are given by $$| z - 2 \mathrm { i } | = 2 \quad \text { and } \quad | z + 1 | = | z + \mathrm { i } |$$ respectively.
  1. Sketch, on a single Argand diagram, the loci \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\).
  2. Hence write down the complex numbers represented by the points of intersection of \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\).
    \(7 \quad\) The matrix \(\mathbf { B }\) is given by \(\mathbf { B } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } a & 1 & 3
    2 & 1 & - 1
    0 & 1 & 2 \end{array} \right)\).
  3. Given that \(\mathbf { B }\) is singular, show that \(a = - \frac { 2 } { 3 }\).
  4. Given instead that \(\mathbf { B }\) is non-singular, find the inverse matrix \(\mathbf { B } ^ { - 1 }\).
  5. Hence, or otherwise, solve the equations $$\begin{aligned} - x + y + 3 z & = 1
    2 x + y - z & = 4
    y + 2 z & = - 1 \end{aligned}$$
