Let Z1 and Z2 be two complex numbers such that Z1-2Z22-Z1Z¯2 is unimodular and Z2 is not unimodular, find the modulus of Z1.

Solution

Modulus of Z1.

A complex number Z is unimodular, if Z=1.

Given that Z1-2Z22-Z1Z¯2=1 and Z2≠1

Z1-2Z22=2-Z1Z2¯2

Use modulus property Z2=ZZ¯ to determine modulus of Z1:

Z1-2Z2Z1¯-2Z2¯=2-Z1Z2¯2-Z1¯Z2⇒Z1Z1¯-2Z1Z2¯-2Z1¯Z2+4Z2Z2¯=4-2Z1Z2¯-2Z1¯Z2+Z1Z1¯Z2Z2¯⇒Z12+4Z22=4+Z12Z22⇒Z121-Z22=41-Z22⇒Z12=4∵Z2≠1⇒Z1=2

Therefore, |Z1|=2

Hence, modulus of Z1 is 2.
