Sum

Solution

Given |z| = 2

|z + 6 + 8i| = |z| + |6 + 8i|

= `2 + sqrt(6^2 + 8^2)`

= `2 + sqrt(100)`

= 2 + 10

= 12

∴ |z + 6 + 8i| ≤ 12  ........(1)

|z + 6 + 8i| ≥ ||z| – |-6 – 8i||

= |2 – 10|

= |– 8|

= 8

|z + 6 + 8i| ≥ 8  ........(2)

From 1 and 2 we get

8 ≤ |z + 6 + 8i| ≤ 12

Hence proved
