Question 2

Let z₁ = 3 + 4i and z₂ = -2 + 5i. A region R in the complex plane is defined by the set of all complex numbers w such that w lies inside or on the circle with diameter joining z̄₁ and z₂. (a) Determine the centre and radius of the circle that forms the boundary of region R. (2 marks) (b) Determine whether the point z̄₂ lies inside, on, or outside region R. (2 marks) (c) Find the value of (z₁ + z̄₁)/2 and determine whether this point lies in region R. (1 mark)
