For all complex numbers z of the form $$1 + i\alpha$$, $$\alpha \in R$$, if $$z^2 = x + iy$$, then:
Given that $$ z $$ is a complex number of the form $$ 1 + i\alpha $$, where $$ \alpha $$ is a real number, so $$ z = 1 + i\alpha $$. We are told that $$ z^2 = x + iy $$, and we need to find the relation between $$ x $$ and $$ y $$.
First, compute $$ z^2 $$:
$$$ z^2 = (1 + i\alpha)^2 $$$
Expand the square:
$$$ (1 + i\alpha)^2 = 1^2 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot (i\alpha) + (i\alpha)^2 = 1 + 2i\alpha + i^2 \alpha^2 $$$
Since $$ i^2 = -1 $$, substitute:
$$$ 1 + 2i\alpha + (-1)\alpha^2 = 1 + 2i\alpha - \alpha^2 $$$
Group the real and imaginary parts:
$$$ z^2 = (1 - \alpha^2) + (2\alpha)i $$$
But $$ z^2 = x + iy $$, so comparing real and imaginary parts:
$$$ x = 1 - \alpha^2 \quad \text{(real part)} $$$
$$$ y = 2\alpha \quad \text{(imaginary part)} $$$
We have two equations:
1. $$ x = 1 - \alpha^2 $$
2. $$ y = 2\alpha $$
We need to eliminate $$ \alpha $$ to find a relation between $$ x $$ and $$ y $$. From the second equation, solve for $$ \alpha $$:
$$$ \alpha = \frac{y}{2} $$$
Substitute this into the first equation:
$$$ x = 1 - \left( \frac{y}{2} \right)^2 $$$
Compute the square:
$$$ x = 1 - \frac{y^2}{4} $$$
To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by 4:
$$$ 4x = 4 \cdot 1 - 4 \cdot \frac{y^2}{4} $$$
Simplify:
$$$ 4x = 4 - y^2 $$$
Rearrange all terms to one side:
$$$ y^2 + 4x - 4 = 0 $$$
Now, compare this equation with the given options:
A. $$ y^2 - 4x + 4 = 0 $$
B. $$ y^2 + 4x - 4 = 0 $$
C. $$ y^2 - 4x + 2 = 0 $$
D. $$ y^2 + 4x + 2 = 0 $$
Our equation $$ y^2 + 4x - 4 = 0 $$ matches option B.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
