Question 1021503: Find all complex numbers z such that
|z|^2-2(con-z)+iz=2i, where the absolute value sign represents the distance of the complex number from the origin of a complex plane and (con-z) represents the complex conjugate of z.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let z = x+iy
==>
= %28x%5E2%2By%5E2-2x-y%29%2Bi%28x%2B2y%29
Since this is supposed to be equal to 2i, it follows that
x+2y = 2 and x%5E2%2By%5E2-2x-y+=+0
Putting x = 2-2y into x%5E2%2By%5E2-2x-y+=+0, we get
4%281-y%29%5E2%2By%5E2-4%281-y%29+-+y+=+0
Simplifying this and solving for y (you should be able to do the algebra!), we get
y = 0 or y=1.
The corresponding x-values are x = 2 or x = 0 respectively..
Therefore there are two complex numbers satisfying the original equation namely
z%5B1%5D+=+2, and z%5B2%5D+=+i.
