The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the complex number \( S = \frac{2\alpha + 3i}{2\alpha - 3i} \) where \( \alpha \) is a real number. We will find the radius of the circle on which all points of \( S \) lie. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Express S in terms of x and y**: We start with the expression for \( S \): \[ S = \frac{2\alpha + 3i}{2\alpha - 3i} \] To simplify this, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ S = \frac{(2\alpha + 3i)(2\alpha + 3i)}{(2\alpha - 3i)(2\alpha + 3i)} \] 2. **Calculate the denominator**: The denominator becomes: \[ (2\alpha - 3i)(2\alpha + 3i) = (2\alpha)^2 - (3i)^2 = 4\alpha^2 + 9 \] 3. **Calculate the numerator**: The numerator becomes: \[ (2\alpha + 3i)(2\alpha + 3i) = (2\alpha)^2 + 2(2\alpha)(3i) + (3i)^2 = 4\alpha^2 + 12\alpha i - 9 \] 4. **Combine the results**: Thus, we have: \[ S = \frac{4\alpha^2 - 9 + 12\alpha i}{4\alpha^2 + 9} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ S = \frac{4\alpha^2 - 9}{4\alpha^2 + 9} + i \frac{12\alpha}{4\alpha^2 + 9} \] Let \( x = \frac{4\alpha^2 - 9}{4\alpha^2 + 9} \) and \( y = \frac{12\alpha}{4\alpha^2 + 9} \). 5. **Find the equation of the circle**: To find the radius of the circle, we need to compute \( x^2 + y^2 \): \[ x^2 + y^2 = \left(\frac{4\alpha^2 - 9}{4\alpha^2 + 9}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{12\alpha}{4\alpha^2 + 9}\right)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ = \frac{(4\alpha^2 - 9)^2 + (12\alpha)^2}{(4\alpha^2 + 9)^2} \] 6. **Simplify the numerator**: Expanding the numerator: \[ (4\alpha^2 - 9)^2 + (12\alpha)^2 = 16\alpha^4 - 72\alpha^2 + 81 + 144\alpha^2 = 16\alpha^4 + 72\alpha^2 + 81 \] 7. **Final expression**: Thus, we have: \[ x^2 + y^2 = \frac{16\alpha^4 + 72\alpha^2 + 81}{(4\alpha^2 + 9)^2} \] 8. **Recognize the form**: Notice that the numerator can be factored: \[ 16\alpha^4 + 72\alpha^2 + 81 = (4\alpha^2 + 9)^2 \] Therefore, we have: \[ x^2 + y^2 = \frac{(4\alpha^2 + 9)^2}{(4\alpha^2 + 9)^2} = 1 \] 9. **Conclusion**: Since \( x^2 + y^2 = 1 \), this indicates that all points \( S \) lie on a circle with a radius of 1. ### Final Answer: The radius of the circle is **1**.
