If |z2-1|=|z|2+1, then z lies on

  • the real axis

  • an ellipse

  • a circle

  • a circle


B.

an ellipse

Given that
|z2- 1| = |z|2+ 2
|z2 + (-1)| = |z2| + |-1|
It shows that the origin, -1 and z2 lies on a line and z2 and -1 lies on one side of the origin, therefore
z2 is a negative number. Hence z will be purely imaginary. So we can say that z lies on y-axis.
