If $$i = \sqrt { - 1} ,$$ the number of values of $${i^n} + {i^{ - n}}$$ for different $$n \in Z$$ is
A
3
B
2
C
4
D
1
Answer :
3
If $$n=0$$ we get the answer as 2
If $$n$$ is even and $$n$$ is simply a multiple of 2 but not a multiple of 4, we get the answer as $$-$$ 2
If $$n$$ is odd,
Let $$n=3$$ we get
$$\eqalign{
& - i - \frac{1}{i} \cr
& = \frac{{1 - 1}}{i} \cr
& = 0 \cr
& n = 5{\text{ we get}} \cr
& i + \frac{1}{i} \cr
& = 0 \cr} $$
Hence in total there are only 3 values, $$ - 2,\,0,\,2$$

If $$\alpha ,\beta $$ be two complex numbers then $${\left| \alpha \right|^2} + {\left| \beta \right|^2}$$ is equal to

The locus of a point in the Argand plane that moves satisfying the equation $$\left| {z - 1 + i} \right| - \left| {z - 2 - i} \right| = 3:$$
A
is a circle with radius $$3$$ and center at $$z = \frac{3}{2}$$
B
is an ellipse with its foci at $$1 – i$$ and $$2 + i$$ and major axis $$= 3$$
C
is a hyperbola with its foci at $$1 – i$$ and $$2 + i$$ and its transverse axis $$= 3$$
D
None of the above
Answer :
is a hyperbola with its foci at $$1 – i$$ and $$2 + i$$ and its transverse axis $$= 3$$
The given eq. implies that the difference between the distances of the moving point from two fixed points $$\left( {1 - i} \right)$$ and $$\left( {2 + i} \right)$$ is constant using the property of the hyperbola that the difference between the focal distances of any point on the curve is constant, the locus in reference is therefore a hyperbola.

Number of solutions of the equation, $${z^3} + \frac{{3{{\left| z \right|}^2}}}{z} = 0,$$ where $$z$$ is a complex number and $$\left| z \right| = \sqrt 3 $$ is
