The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the locus of the complex number \( z \) such that \[ \arg\left(\frac{z - i}{z + i}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2}. \] ### Step 1: Express \( z \) in terms of \( x \) and \( y \) Let \( z = x + iy \), where \( x \) and \( y \) are real numbers. ### Step 2: Substitute \( z \) into the argument expression We substitute \( z \) into the expression: \[ \arg\left(\frac{(x + iy) - i}{(x + iy) + i}\right) = \arg\left(\frac{x + (y - 1)i}{x + (y + 1)i}\right). \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Now, we can simplify the expression: \[ \frac{x + (y - 1)i}{x + (y + 1)i}. \] To eliminate the imaginary unit from the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(x + (y - 1)i)(x - (y + 1)i)}{(x + (y + 1)i)(x - (y + 1)i)}. \] ### Step 4: Calculate the denominator The denominator becomes: \[ (x^2 + (y + 1)^2). \] ### Step 5: Calculate the numerator The numerator becomes: \[ x^2 + (y - 1)(y + 1) + i[x(y + 1) - x(y - 1)]. \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 + (y^2 - 1) + i[2xy]. \] ### Step 6: Set up the argument condition Now we have: \[ \arg\left(\frac{x^2 + (y^2 - 1) + i[2xy]}{x^2 + (y + 1)^2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2}. \] This means that the real part of the numerator must be zero: \[ x^2 + (y^2 - 1) = 0. \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( y \) From the equation \( x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 0 \), we can rearrange it to get: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 1. \] ### Step 8: Identify the locus The equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 1 \) represents a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin (0,0). ### Conclusion Thus, the locus of the complex number \( z \) such that \( \arg\left(\frac{z - i}{z + i}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2} \) is a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin.
