Let a, b, c be three real numbers, such that a + 2b + 4c = 0, Then, the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

  • has both the roots complex

  • has its roots lying within - 1 < x < 0

  • has one of roots equal to 12

  • has its roots lying within 2 < x < 6

For the real parameter t, the locus of the complex number z = 1 - t2 + i1 + t2 in the complex plane is

  • an ellipse

  • a parabola

  • a circle

  • a hyperbola


B.

a parabola

Let z = x + iy

Given, z = 1 - t2 + i1 + t2 x + iy = 1 - t2 + i1 + t2

On equating real and imaginary parts, we get

x = 1 - t2 and y = 1 + t2 x + y2 = 1 - t2 + 1 + t2 x + y2 = 2  y2 = - x - 2

Hence, it represents a parabola.
