If a is a complex number and b is a real number, then the equation a +a+b=0 represents a
Options
- Astraight line
- Bparabola
- Ccircle
- Dhyperbola
Correct answer
A. straight line
Step-by-step solution
Let a=x+i y , then a =x-i y Thus, a +a+b=0 aligned & x-i y+x+i y+b & =0 & 2 x+b & =0 & x+ b 2 & =0 aligned Which represent a straight line.
