Question
Let
$A = \{ z \in \mathbb{C}:|z - 2| \leq 4\}$ and
$B = \{ z \in \mathbb{C}:|z - 2| + |z + 2| = 5\}$.
Then the max $\left\{ \left| z_{1} - z_{2} \right|:z_{1} \in \text{ }A \right.\ $ and $\left. \ z_{2} \in \text{ }B \right\}$ is
Options
A.$\frac{15}{2}$
B.8
C.$\frac{17}{2}$
D.9
Solution
$|z - 2| \leq 4 \Rightarrow (x - 2) + y^{2} \leq 16$
$$\begin{matrix} & \ |z - 2| + |z + 2| = 5 \Rightarrow \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1 \\ & \ \Rightarrow \frac{4x^{2}}{25} + \frac{4y^{2}}{9} = 1 \end{matrix}$$
Maximum value of $\left| z_{1} - z_{2} \right| = 6 + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{17}{2}$
