The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the condition given for the complex number \( z \) and determine the locus of points that satisfy the equation \( (z - 1)^n = z^n \) for \( n \in \mathbb{N} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation:** \[ (z - 1)^n = z^n \] 2. **Rearranging the equation:** We can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{z - 1}{z} = 1^{\frac{1}{n}} = 1 \] This implies: \[ z - 1 = z \] 3. **Divide both sides by \( z \) (assuming \( z \neq 0 \)):** \[ \frac{z - 1}{z} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 - \frac{1}{z} = 1 \] 4. **Solving for \( z \):** Rearranging gives: \[ -\frac{1}{z} = 0 \implies z = \infty \] However, this does not help us find the locus. Instead, we can consider the modulus. 5. **Taking modulus on both sides:** Taking the modulus of both sides of the original equation: \[ |z - 1|^n = |z|^n \] Since \( n \) is a natural number, we can take the \( n \)-th root: \[ |z - 1| = |z| \] 6. **Interpret the modulus condition:** The equation \( |z - 1| = |z| \) means that the distance from the point \( z \) to the point \( 1 \) (which is \( (1, 0) \) in the complex plane) is equal to the distance from \( z \) to the origin \( 0 \) (which is \( (0, 0) \)). 7. **Finding the locus:** The set of points \( z \) that are equidistant from the points \( 0 \) and \( 1 \) lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining \( 0 \) and \( 1 \). The perpendicular bisector of the segment joining \( (0, 0) \) and \( (1, 0) \) is the vertical line: \[ x = \frac{1}{2} \] This line is parallel to the imaginary axis. 8. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the locus of \( z \) is indeed a straight line parallel to the imaginary axis. ### Final Answer: The statement that the locus of \( z \) is a straight line parallel to the imaginary axis is **true**.
