| Topic | Complex Numbers Arithmetic |
| Type | Parameter from modulus condition |
| Difficulty | Standard +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. |
