Analyzing the Geometry of the Constraint

Imagine you are standing on the complex plane, looking at the vertical line defined by . This is not just a line; it is the entire universe of possibilities for our complex number .
Because the real part is locked at , we can describe any point on this line with the simple, elegant form , where is any real number. Consequently, its conjugate is . This substitution is our key to unlocking the problem.

The Algebraic Transformation

Now, let us turn our attention to the expression:
First, consider the numerator. We have , and . Thus, the numerator is .
Next, consider the denominator:
We have successfully reduced the complex fraction into:

The Rationalization

To isolate the real part, we must clear the imaginary unit from the denominator. We multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate .
The denominator becomes . The numerator becomes:
We only care about the real part, so:

The Range Analysis

We are now in the home stretch. Let . Notice that only appears as .
Let . Since is real, . Our function becomes:
As increases from to , the term decreases from to . Thus, decreases from to .
The range of is .

The Final Victory

We have identified and . The problem asks for .
Calculating the difference:
Finally, . We have navigated the complex plane, simplified the algebra, and found the range with precision.
The final answer is 30.
