If Z =x+i y is a complex number, then the number of distinct solution of the equation z^3+ z =0 is
Options
- A1
- B3
- CInfinite
- D5
Correct answer
D. 5
Step-by-step solution
Given, z^3+ z =0 , where z=x+i y is a complex number aligned & z^3=- z |z^3 |=|- z | |z|^3=|z| & |z|^3-|z|=0 |z| (|z|^2-1 )=0 aligned aligned & |z|=0 or |z|^2=1 z z =1 z = 1 z & z=0 or z^3+ 1 z =0 z=0 or z^4+1=0 aligned So, total number of distinct solution of given equation is 5 .
