Let a complex number z, |z| $\ne$ 1,
satisfy $${\log _{{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}}}\left( {{{|z| + 11} \over {{{(|z| - 1)}^2}}}} \right) \le 2$$. Then, the largest value of |z| is equal to ____________.
Solution
${{|z| + 11} \over {{{(|z| - 1)}^2}}} \ge {1 \over 2}$<br><br>$2|z| + 22 \ge {(|z| - 1)^2}$<br><br>$2|z| + 22 \ge \,|z{|^2} - 2|z| + 1$<br><br>$|z{|^2} - 4|z| - 21 \le 0$<br><br>$(|z| - 7)(|z| + 3) \le 0$<br><br>$\Rightarrow \,|z| \le 7$<br><br>$\therefore$ $|z{|_{\max }} = 7$
