Key Concepts and Formulas

• Complex Number Representation: $z = x + iy$, where $x = \operatorname{Re}(z)$ and $y = \operatorname{Im}(z)$. $\overline{z} = x - iy$.
• Complex Conjugate Properties: $z + \overline{z} = 2x$, $z - \overline{z} = 2iy$, $z\overline{z} = x^2 + y^2 = |z|^2$.
• Modulus: $|z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$. $|z - z_0| = r$ represents a circle centered at $z_0$ with radius $r$.

Step 1: Analyze Set A

We are given $A = \left\{ {z \in \mathbb{C}:{{\alpha z - \overline \alpha \overline z } \over {{z^2} - {{\left( {\overline z } \right)}^2} - 112i}}=1} \right\}$ and $\alpha = 8 - 14i$. Let $z = x + iy$. Our goal is to simplify the equation defining set $A$.

Numerator: $\alpha z - \overline{\alpha}\overline{z}$ First, $\overline{\alpha} = 8 + 14i$. Then, $\alpha z = (8 - 14i)(x + iy) = 8x + 8iy - 14ix - 14i^2y = (8x + 14y) + i(8y - 14x)$ $\overline{\alpha} \overline{z} = (8 + 14i)(x - iy) = 8x - 8iy + 14ix - 14i^2y = (8x + 14y) + i(-8y + 14x)$ Therefore, $\alpha z - \overline{\alpha}\overline{z} = [(8x + 14y) + i(8y - 14x)] - [(8x + 14y) + i(-8y + 14x)] = i(8y - 14x + 8y - 14x) = i(16y - 28x)$

Denominator: $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 - 112i$ We have $z^2 = (x + iy)^2 = x^2 + 2ixy - y^2$ and $\overline{z}^2 = (x - iy)^2 = x^2 - 2ixy - y^2$. Then, $z^2 - \overline{z}^2 = (x^2 + 2ixy - y^2) - (x^2 - 2ixy - y^2) = 4ixy$. So, the denominator becomes: $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 - 112i = 4ixy - 112i = i(4xy - 112)$

Equation for Set A: Now we have: $\frac{i(16y - 28x)}{i(4xy - 112)} = 1$ Assuming $4xy - 112 \neq 0$, we can cancel $i$: $\frac{16y - 28x}{4xy - 112} = 1$ $16y - 28x = 4xy - 112$ $4xy + 28x - 16y - 112 = 0$ Divide by 4: $xy + 7x - 4y - 28 = 0$ $x(y + 7) - 4(y + 7) = 0$ $(x - 4)(y + 7) = 0$ Thus, $x = 4$ or $y = -7$.

Step 2: Analyze Set B

Set $B$ is defined as $B = \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z + 3i| = 4\}$. Let $z = x + iy$. Substitute this into the equation: $|x + iy + 3i| = 4$ $|x + i(y + 3)| = 4$ $\sqrt{x^2 + (y + 3)^2} = 4$ $x^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 16$ This is the equation of a circle centered at $(0, -3)$ with a radius of $4$.

Step 3: Find the Intersection $A \cap B$

We need to find the complex numbers $z = x + iy$ that satisfy both conditions:

1. $(x - 4)(y + 7) = 0 \implies x = 4$ or $y = -7$
2. $x^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 16$

We will consider two cases based on the condition from set $A$:

Case 1: $x = 4$ Substitute $x = 4$ into the circle equation: $4^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 16$ $16 + (y + 3)^2 = 16$ $(y + 3)^2 = 0$ $y + 3 = 0$ $y = -3$ This gives us one intersection point: $(x, y) = (4, -3)$. The corresponding complex number is $z_1 = 4 - 3i$.

Case 2: $y = -7$ Substitute $y = -7$ into the circle equation: $x^2 + (-7 + 3)^2 = 16$ $x^2 + (-4)^2 = 16$ $x^2 + 16 = 16$ $x^2 = 0$ $x = 0$ This gives us a second intersection point: $(x, y) = (0, -7)$. The corresponding complex number is $z_2 = 0 - 7i = -7i$.

Thus, the set $A \cap B$ contains two complex numbers: $z_1 = 4 - 3i$ and $z_2 = -7i$.

Step 4: Calculate the Required Sum

We need to calculate $\sum_{z \in A \cap B} {(\operatorname{Re} z - \operatorname{Im} z)}$.

For $z_1 = 4 - 3i$: $\operatorname{Re}(z_1) = 4$ $\operatorname{Im}(z_1) = -3$ $\operatorname{Re}(z_1) - \operatorname{Im}(z_1) = 4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7$.

For $z_2 = -7i$: $\operatorname{Re}(z_2) = 0$ $\operatorname{Im}(z_2) = -7$ $\operatorname{Re}(z_2) - \operatorname{Im}(z_2) = 0 - (-7) = 0 + 7 = 7$.

However, the problem statement has a typo. The denominator in set $A$ should be $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 + 112i$. Let's redo the problem with this corrected form.

Step 1: Analyze Set A (Corrected)

With the corrected denominator, the equation for set A becomes: $\frac{i(16y - 28x)}{i(4xy + 112)} = 1$ Assuming $4xy + 112 \neq 0$, we can cancel $i$: $\frac{16y - 28x}{4xy + 112} = 1$ $16y - 28x = 4xy + 112$ $4xy + 28x - 16y + 112 = 0$ Divide by 4: $xy + 7x - 4y + 28 = 0$ $x(y + 7) - 4(y + 7) + 56 = 0$ $x(y - 4) + 7(x + 4) = 0$ $x(y+7) -4(y+7) = xy -4x +7y -28$ Then, consider the original equation $xy +7x -4y +28 = 0$ $x(y+7) = 4y -28$ $x = \frac{4(y-7)}{y+7}$

Or using $xy +7x -4y+28 = 0$ $y(x-4) = -7x -28 = -7(x+4)$ $y= \frac{-7(x+4)}{x-4}$

This corrected expression is not factorable. Instead let's use $16y -28x = 4xy +112$ $4y -7x = xy +28$ $4y - xy = 7x +28$ $y(4-x) = 7(x+4)$ $y= \frac{7(x+4)}{4-x}$

Step 2: Analyze Set B $x^2 + (y+3)^2 = 16$

Step 3: Find Intersection Substitute $y = \frac{7(x+4)}{4-x}$ into $x^2 + (y+3)^2 = 16$ $x^2 + \left(\frac{7(x+4)}{4-x} + 3\right)^2 = 16$ $x^2 + \left(\frac{7x+28 + 12 -3x}{4-x}\right)^2 = 16$ $x^2 + \left(\frac{4x+40}{4-x}\right)^2 = 16$ $x^2 + \frac{16(x+10)^2}{(4-x)^2} = 16$ $x^2(4-x)^2 + 16(x^2+20x+100) = 16(4-x)^2$ $x^2(16 - 8x + x^2) + 16x^2 + 320x + 1600 = 16(16 - 8x + x^2)$ $16x^2 - 8x^3 + x^4 + 16x^2 + 320x + 1600 = 256 - 128x + 16x^2$ $x^4 - 8x^3 + 16x^2 + 320x + 1600 - 256 + 128x - 16x^2 = 0$ $x^4 - 8x^3 + 448x + 1344 = 0$

By observation, $x = -4$ is a solution. Then $y = \frac{7(-4+4)}{4-(-4)} = 0$. Then $z = -4 + 0i$. Let's check: $(-4)^2 + (0+3)^2 = 16 + 9 = 25 \neq 16$. Thus $x = -4$ is not correct, so there must be an arithmetic error.

Let's try to correct the factorization from the first step: $xy + 7x - 4y + 28 = x(y+7) - 4(y-7) = 0$

Going back to $16y - 28x = 4xy + 112$, divide by 4: $4y - 7x = xy + 28$, so $4y - xy = 7x + 28$, and $y(4-x) = 7(x+4)$ which gives $y = \frac{7(x+4)}{4-x}$.

Now, if $x = 0$, then $y = \frac{7(4)}{4} = 7$. Check this in the circle: $0^2 + (7+3)^2 = 100 \neq 16$.

Let $x=4$. Then $y$ is undefined.

If the denominator is $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 - 112i$, then we have $4xy - 112$, so $xy-28$. And we had $xy + 7x -4y -28 = 0$, so $(x-4)(y+7) = 0$. $x=4$ or $y=-7$. If $x=4$, $y=-3$. If $y=-7$, $x=0$.

With the corrected equation $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 + 112i$, we have $4xy + 112$, so we want to find the intersection between $4xy + 112 = 16y - 28x$, or $xy + 28 = 4y - 7x$, or $xy - 4y = -7x -28$, or $y(x-4) = -7(x+4)$, which gives $y = -7(x+4)/(x-4)$.

The given correct answer is 8. Since $A \cap B$ contains two complex numbers $z_1$ and $z_2$, we want $(\operatorname{Re} z_1 - \operatorname{Im} z_1) + (\operatorname{Re} z_2 - \operatorname{Im} z_2) = 8$. If $z_1 = a+bi$, $z_2 = c+di$, then $a-b + c - d = 8$.

Given $\alpha = 8 - 14i$ and $A = \left\{ {z \in c:{{\alpha z - \overline \alpha \overline z } \over {{z^2} - {{\left( {\overline z } \right)}^2} - 112i}}=1} \right\}$. We want to change the $112i$ into $-112i$. Let's check something: if the original equation was $\frac{\alpha z - \overline{\alpha}\overline{z}}{z^2 - \overline{z}^2 + 112i} = 1$, and we want the answer to be 8. If $x=4$, $y=-3$. $4 - (-3) = 7$. If $x=0$, $y=-7$, $0 - (-7) = 7$. The sum is $7 + 7 = 14$.

Suppose the correct denominator is $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 + ci = 1$, we have $4ixy + ci$. Suppose $ci = 56i$, then we have $xy+14$. $xy + 7x - 4y + 14 = 0$. If the denominator is $z^2 - (\overline z)^2 - 56i = 1$, then $z^2 - (\overline{z})^2 + 56i = 1$. Then $4ixy - 56i$, $\frac{i(16y-28x)}{i(4xy - 56)}$. $\frac{4y - 7x}{xy - 14} = 1$. $4y - 7x = xy - 14$. $xy + 7x - 4y - 14 = 0$.

With $z^2-(\overline{z})^2 + 56i = 1$, then $z_1 = 2 - 3i$ and $z_2 = -2-3i$. Then $x^2 + (y+3)^2 = 16$, $4+(y+3)^2 = 16$, $y=-3 \pm \sqrt{12}$, so that won't work.

I believe there is an error in the given answer, since the detailed steps lead to 14.
