Consider the region A in the complex plane that consists of all points z such that both \frac{z}{40} and \frac{40}{\overline{z}} have real and imaginary parts between 0 and 1, inclusive. What is the integer that is nearest the area of A?
Let z = a + bi and \overline{z} = a - bi
a = real part of z, b = imaginary part of z
substitute z and \overline{z}, we get
\frac{z}{40} = \frac{a + bi}{40}
\frac{40}{\overline{z}} = \frac{40(a+bi)}{a^{2} + b^{2}}
Since both both \frac{z}{40} and \frac{40}{\overline{z}} have real and imaginary parts between 0 and 1, inclusive:
Hence
For \frac{z}{40}:
0 < \frac{a}{40} < 1,
0 < \frac{b}{40} < 1
For \frac{40}{\overline{z}}:
0 < \frac{40(a)}{a^{2} + b^{2}} < 1,
0 < \frac{40(b)}{a^{2} + b^{2}} < 1
From these 4 equations, if 0 < a < 40 and 0 < b < 40 are fulfilled, then
a^{2} + b^{2} = 1600
Well the problem is I don't know how to find out the area A, since the points z can be randomly distributed in the range of 0 < a < 40 and 0 < b < 40. Any ideas?
If assuming the complex plane is an square with a = x = 40 and b = y = 40, the area is 1600, which is differ from the answer.
