Let `z=1-t+isqrt(t^2+t+2)`, where `t` is a real parameter.the locus of the z in argand plane is

A

a hyperbola

B

an ellipse

C

a striaght line

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`x+iy=1-t+isqrt(t^(2)+t+2)`
`rArr " " x=1-t, y=sqrt(t^(2)+t+2)`
Eliminating t,
`y^(2)=t^(2)+t+2=(1-x)^(2)+1-x+2=(x-(3)/(2))^(2)+(7)/(4)`
`rArr " " y^(2)-(x-(3)/(2))^(2)=(7)/(4)`, which is a hyperbola
