6. (i) On an Argand diagram, mark the points A and B representing the complex numbers 0 + 9i and 12 + 0i respectively. Describe in words the locus L1 of points representing complex numbers w which satisfy w 9i = w 12 . Draw L1 on your diagram. The locus L2 consists of the points representing complex numbers z for which z 9i = 2 z 12 . (ii) By writing z = x + yi, where x and y are real, obtain an equation relating x and y, and hence show that L2 is a circle. Give the centre and radius of this circle. [7] (iii)Hence write down an equation for L2 in which z occurs only once. [2] [5]
