if $|z^2-3|=3|z|$ , then the max value of |z| is:




I attempted this problem by subbing $z$ in as $re^{itheta}$



so



$$|r^2e^{i2theta}-3|= 3r$$



$$r=frac{3}{sqrt{(cos2theta-3)^2+sin^22theta}}$$



$$r=frac{3}{sqrt{10-6cos2theta}}$$



So we just have to find the minimum of the expression below in the denominator to find the maximum value of $r$ which is $|z|$ which is 2 and gives $|z|=3/2$.



On the other hand the author has used the following inequality




$$|z^2-3|-3|z|=0$$



$$|z^2|-3|z|-3<=0$$




Now, i can't figure out why is my answer not the same as the on which we get by solving the quadratic above $(3+sqrt21)/2$

            @CaptainQuestion The equation $r=frac 3 {sqrt {10-6cos 2theta}}$ shows that $r$ and $theta$ are not independent. You got $r=3/2$ by putting $cos (2theta)=1$ but then these values of $r$ and $theta$ do not satisfy the given equation!

          $z=r(cos t+isin t)$ where $rge0, t$ is real



          $$3r=sqrt{(r^2cos2t-3)^2+(r^2sin2t)^2}$$



          As $rge0,$ we safely take square on both sides:



          $$r^4-3r^2(2cos2t+3)+9=0$$



          Now as $t$ is real, $-1lecos2tle1$



          $implies-1ge-(2cos2t+3)ge-5$



          $implies r^4-3r^2+9ge r^4-3r^2(2cos2t+3)+9ge r^4-15r^2+9$



          $implies left(r^2-dfrac32right)^2+9-dfrac94ge0ge r^4-15r^2+9$



          First part is clearly true for real $r$



          As the roots of $r^4-15r^2+9=0$ are $dfrac{15pm3sqrt{21}}2$



          $0ge r^4-15r^2+9impliesdfrac{15-3sqrt{21}}2le r^2ledfrac{15+3sqrt{21}}2$



          Finally $$dfrac{15+3sqrt{21}}2=dfrac{3^2+(sqrt{21})^2+2cdot3cdotsqrt{21}}{2^2}=?$$

                Now as $t$ is real, $-1lecos2tle1$



                $implies-1ge-(2cos2t+3)ge-5$



                $implies r^4-3r^2+9ge r^4-3r^2(2cos2t+3)+9ge r^4-15r^2+9$



                $implies left(r^2-dfrac32right)^2+9-dfrac94ge0ge r^4-15r^2+9$



                First part is clearly true for real $r$



                As the roots of $r^4-15r^2+9=0$ are $dfrac{15pm3sqrt{21}}2$



                $0ge r^4-15r^2+9impliesdfrac{15-3sqrt{21}}2le r^2ledfrac{15+3sqrt{21}}2$



                Finally $$dfrac{15+3sqrt{21}}2=dfrac{3^2+(sqrt{21})^2+2cdot3cdotsqrt{21}}{2^2}=?$$

Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Lage 2 Geschichte 3 Literatur 4 Weblinks Lage | Der etwa 90 Meter lange Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten befindet sich an der nördlichen Spitze der Altstadtinsel, vor dem Burgtor. Die in einem Bogen durch eine Grünanlage hangaufwärts führende Straße verbindet die Wakenitzmauer mit der Burgtorbrücke. Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich
