Area of Region bounded by the locus of that satisfying
EDIT: Disregard that, I was entirely wrong - changing my answer to 25(2+3pi). I don't have time to write out my working, but hopefully someone can check that.

i got ??? if the argument is then it will be of a circle, but because its there will be 2 three quarter circles of radius 5. so i just did

EDIT: in this case angle between two vectors isnt pi/4 i worked it out to be 3pi/4 which changes the answer

Im confused with this question on where the pi/4 goes and why. Can someone help?

how can you just assume that? can you prove it? its pretty clear when the chords are drawn from a point on the x-axis using the fact that the exterior angle to a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior angles (whereas the points lie on the y-axis).

^ in that case the angle is not always the one formed between the two vectors yeh? you have to work it out geometrically right?

Mathman, I understood how you worked out 3pi/4 but Im struggling to do myself when working on the left hand side of the plane. Help me out? Is there a simpler way to determining the included angle?

on the LHS of the plane arg(z+5i)-arg(z-5i) = pi/4, try that if you havent already

The geometry in finding the included angle is what is confusing me.

You marked the angle theta incorrectly there so I'm kinda confused since it represents the argument of the vector representing z-5.

yes the angle you marked is theta, but theta represents a pos value and clearly the arg is neg
