Figure 2
Figure 2 shows an Argand diagram for complex numbers of the form z = x + i y z=x+\mathrm{i}y z = x + i y .
The diagram is drawn accurately, although the scale is not shown on the axes.
Complex numbers that lie in the region R R R , shown shaded in Figure 2, satisfy all three of the inequalities
∣ z − 15 − 8 i ∣ ⩽ a \begin{align*}
|z-15-8\mathrm{i}|\leqslant a
\end{align*} ∣ z − 15 − 8 i ∣ ⩽ a
0 ⩽ arg ( z + 1 ) ⩽ b π \begin{align*}
0\leqslant \arg(z+1)\leqslant b\pi
\end{align*} 0 ⩽ arg ( z + 1 ) ⩽ bπ
∣ z + 2 i ∣ ⩾ ∣ z + c i ∣ \begin{align*}
|z+2\mathrm{i}|\geqslant |z+c\mathrm{i}|
\end{align*} ∣ z + 2 i ∣ ⩾ ∣ z + c i ∣
where a a a , b b b and c c c are real numbers.

三个不等式分别对应圆、从 − 1 -1 − 1 出发的射线夹角、以及两点距离比较形成的垂直平分线。图是按比例画的,所以可以从图形边界读出圆心、半径和直线位置。

The inequality
∣ z − 15 − 8 i ∣ ⩽ a \begin{align*}
|z-15-8\mathrm{i}|\leqslant a
\end{align*} ∣ z − 15 − 8 i ∣ ⩽ a
represents a circle with centre ( 15 , 8 ) (15,8) ( 15 , 8 ) and radius a a a . From the diagram, the radius is 8 8 8 , so
a = 8 \begin{align*}
a=8
\end{align*} a = 8
The line bounding the argument region passes through ( − 1 , 0 ) (-1,0) ( − 1 , 0 ) and ( 7 , 8 ) (7,8) ( 7 , 8 ) , so its gradient is
8 − 0 7 − ( − 1 ) = 1 \begin{align*}
\frac{8-0}{7-(-1)}=1
\end{align*} 7 − ( − 1 ) 8 − 0 = 1
Hence the angle is π 4 \frac{\pi}{4} 4 π , giving
b = 1 4 \begin{align*}
b=\frac14
\end{align*} b = 4 1
The inequality
∣ z + 2 i ∣ ⩾ ∣ z + c i ∣ \begin{align*}
|z+2\mathrm{i}|\geqslant |z+c\mathrm{i}|
\end{align*} ∣ z + 2 i ∣ ⩾ ∣ z + c i ∣
compares distances from ( 0 , − 2 ) (0,-2) ( 0 , − 2 ) and ( 0 , − c ) (0,-c) ( 0 , − c ) . Its boundary is the perpendicular bisector of these two points. From the diagram this boundary is the horizontal line y = 8 y=8 y = 8 , so
− 2 + ( − c ) 2 = 8 − 2 − c = 16 c = − 18 \begin{align*}
\frac{-2+(-c)}{2}
=&\,8\\[4mm]
-2-c
=&\,16\\[4mm]
c
=&\,-18
\end{align*} 2 − 2 + ( − c ) = − 2 − c = c = 8 16 − 18
Therefore
a = 8 , b = 1 4 , c = − 18 \begin{align*}
a=8,\qquad b=\frac14,\qquad c=-18
\end{align*} a = 8 , b = 4 1 , c = − 18

∣ w ∣ |w| ∣ w ∣ 是点到原点的距离。最小距离在左下角点 ( 7 , 8 ) (7,8) ( 7 , 8 ) ,最大距离在圆上沿着原点到圆心方向继续往外的点。圆心到原点距离是 17 17 17 ,半径是 8 8 8 。

The minimum value of ∣ w ∣ |w| ∣ w ∣ occurs at ( 7 , 8 ) (7,8) ( 7 , 8 ) :
∣ w ∣ min = 7 2 + 8 2 = 113 \begin{align*}
|w|_{\min}
=&\,\sqrt{7^2+8^2}\\[4mm]
=&\,\sqrt{113}
\end{align*} ∣ w ∣ m i n = = 7 2 + 8 2 113
The centre of the circle is ( 15 , 8 ) (15,8) ( 15 , 8 ) , so its distance from the origin is
15 2 + 8 2 = 17 \begin{align*}
\sqrt{15^2+8^2}
=&\,17
\end{align*} 1 5 2 + 8 2 = 17
The largest possible distance from the origin to a point on this circular boundary is
17 + 8 = 25 \begin{align*}
17+8=25
\end{align*} 17 + 8 = 25
Therefore the exact range is
113 ⩽ ∣ w ∣ ⩽ 25 \begin{align*}
\sqrt{113}\leqslant |w|\leqslant 25
\end{align*} 113 ⩽ ∣ w ∣ ⩽ 25

要让 arg w \arg w arg w 最小,就是让从原点看过去的斜率 y / x y/x y / x 尽量小。区域最低是 y = 8 y=8 y = 8 ,在这条边上越往右角越小,所以取点 ( 23 , 8 ) (23,8) ( 23 , 8 ) 。

The minimum argument occurs at the point ( 23 , 8 ) (23,8) ( 23 , 8 ) . Therefore
arg w min = arctan ( 8 23 ) = 0.335 radians \begin{align*}
\arg w_{\min}
=&\,\arctan\left(\frac{8}{23}\right)\\[4mm]
=&\,0.335\ \text{radians}
\end{align*} arg w m i n = = arctan ( 23 8 ) 0.335 radians
to 3 significant figures.
