Sketching in the Complex Plane Using a TI-nspire CX 11

Let R be the region of the complex plane where the inequalities |z-i|\le2 and |z-\bar{z}|\ge3 hold simultaneously.

First find the Cartesian equations.

Finding the symbols


The conj(z) is found under
Menu – Number – Complex Number Tools – Complex Conjugate

Second, sketch each of the functions.

The section that is shaded twice is our region.

Determine the minimum value of Re(z) in R.

We can find the point of intersection between the circle and the line.

Re(z)=-1.94

Or if you want exact values

Use the Solve Systems of Equations tool – Menu – Algebra – Solve Systems of Equations – Solve Systems of Equations.

Re(z)=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}
