Let n denote the number of solutions of the equation z2 + 3 = 0, where z is a complex number. Then the value of is equal to :
- A1
- B
- C
- D2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Let where .
-
The given equation is Substitute :
-
Expand: So,
-
Equating real and imaginary parts: The second equation gives Hence, either:
- Case 1:
- Case 2:
- Case 1:
Then the real-part equation becomes So, Thus solutions are
- Case 2:
Then Thus two more solutions are
-
Therefore, total number of solutions is
-
Now evaluate This is an infinite GP with first term and common ratio . Hence,
-
So the required value is This corresponds to option B.
