I´m actually looking for someone who can solve Q7(ii), the part of hence show that the modulus of z-2i = 4.
Here is the question once again:
Well, with some help from the mark scheme, I can tell that the expression |z-2i| = zz* -2iz + 2iz + 4
Now if you look at it, its pretty similar to the expression already given in the question except that we have a positive 4, instead of -12.

I've solved this but the working is pretty lengthy.
Ill just tell you in short, you gotta break the 1/x^2(2x+1) into partial fractions, and then integrate. youre gonna get -2ln(x) -1/x + 2ln(2x+1)= lny +c
Then use (1,1) to find c. Then youre gonna get too many ln's. just put them together in a single ln function (divide the ones being subtracted, multiply the ones being added) and then cancel the ln from both sides. THEN, substitute 2 in x and youre gonna get 25e/36e^(1/2) = 25e^(1/2) / 36
oohh okay thankss... my approach was wrong i guess...

i did this question sooooooo long ago i forgot how i did it am searching for the working . may take a while
yeaah okay thankss.....

i'll start another paper till then and just HOPE for better results than this one.... i didnt even do 1 SINGLE question by myself!! >_<

For q(2).....
Could you do the "show" part in the same question as well?
Well, Ik that |z-2i| = 4
is gonna go to:
a^2 + b^2 -4b +4 = 16
a^2 + b^2 -4b -12 = 0 which is same as zz* - 2iz* + 2iz -12= o. But is this enough to show what theyre asking for?

I think the question asks to show /z-2i/=4 from the equation that is obtained from above.....so maybe if we reverse the process.like
zz* - 2iz* + 2iz =12.....(Add 4 on both sides, which gives,
zz* - 2iz* + 2iz +4=16
(z - 2i)(z* + 2i)= 16
(z - 2i)(z - 2i)*=16
/z - 2i/^2=16..(square root on both sides)
/z - 2i/=4

Wow! Please could you explain me your strategy here. Plus, explain what you did from (z - 2i)(z* + 2i)= 16 downwards, and why did you decide to factorise? Would really appreciate if you answer all of this for me.

Thank you very much in advance.

I think the question wants us to show that /z-2i/=4 from the very equation that is obtained above......if you add 4 the equation becomes zz* - 2iz* + 2iz +4=16........and now if u multiply (z - 2i)(z* + 2i) , it is same as zz* - 2iz* + 2iz +4.........and (z* + 2i) is same as (z - 2i)*......so, (z - 2i)(z - 2i)* means /z - 2i/^2=16.....and putting sq.root on both sides gives /z - 2i/=4

So basically, what I did is correct as well? cause its just the reverse of what you did.
