If ( 3 -i)⁵⁰=2⁴⁸(x-i y) , then x^2+y^2 is equal to
Options
- A2
- B4
- C8
- D16
Correct answer
D. 16
Step-by-step solution
( 3 -i)=2 ( 6 -i 6 ) aligned ( 3 -i)⁵⁰ & =2⁵⁰ ( 6 -i 6 )⁵⁰ & =2⁵⁰ ( 3 -i 3 ) & =2⁵⁰ ( 1 2 -i 3 2 ) aligned But ( 3 -i)⁵⁰=2⁴⁸(x-i y) aligned & & x & =2 and y=2 3 & & x^2+y^2 & =4+12=16 aligned
