The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (A) : $( - 1, 1)$
Let \(z=x+iy \Rightarrow z^{2}=x^{2}-y^{2}+2ixy\) 
Now, 
\(\frac{1+z^{2}}{2iz}=\frac{1+x^{2}-y^{2}+2ixy}{2i\left(x+iy\right)}=\frac{\left(x^{2}-y^{2}+1\right)+2ixy}{2ix-2y}\)
\(=\frac{\left(x^{2}-y^{2}+1\right)+2ixy}{-2y+2ix}\times \frac{-2y-2ix}{-2y-2ix}\)
\(=\frac{y\left(x^{2}-y^{2}-1\right)+x\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+1\right)i}{2\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)}\)
\(a=\frac{x\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+1\right)}{2\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)}\) 
Since, \(\left|z\right|=1\)
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=1\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}=1\)
\(\therefore a=\frac{x\left(1+1\right)}{2\times1}=x\) 
Also \(z\ne1\)
\(\Rightarrow x+iy\ne1\)
\(\therefore A=\left(-1,1\right)\)

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
