TopicComplex Numbers Arithmetic
TypeParameter from modulus condition
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward algebraic problem requiring substitution of z = 3 + λi into the given equation, expanding using (a+bi)² = a²-b²+2abi, and solving a simple quadratic. It tests basic complex number manipulation but requires no insight beyond routine technique.
Spec4.02a Complex numbers: real/imaginary parts, modulus, argument4.02e Arithmetic of complex numbers: add, subtract, multiply, divide

  1. The complex number \(z\) is given by \(z = 3 + \lambda \mathrm { i }\), where \(\lambda\) is a positive constant. The complex conjugate of \(z\) is denoted by \(\bar { z }\).
Given that \(z ^ { 2 } + \bar { z } ^ { 2 } = 2\), find the value of \(\lambda\).
