Options
- A3
- B4
- C2
- D5
Correct answer
B. 4
Step-by-step solution
Given equation is Z = iz ^2...(i) Let Z = x + iy Z = x - iy Now, from equation (i) aligned & x-i y=(x+i y)^2 & x-i y=i (x^2-y^2+2 i x y ) & x-i y=i x^2-i y^2-2 x y & 2+2 x y=0 and y=y^2-x^2 aligned On solving get (0,0)(0,1) ( - 3 2 , -1 2 ) ( 3 2 , -1 2 ) are four solutions
