Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 282

Question: If $ z=\frac{\sqrt{3}+i}{-2} $ , then $ z^{69} $ is equal to [RPET 2001]

Options:

A) 1

B) - 1

C) i

D) - i

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ z=\frac{\sqrt{3}+i}{-2} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ iz=-\frac{-1+\sqrt{3i}}{2}=-\omega $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ z=\frac{-\omega }{i}=i\omega $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ z^{69}=i^{69}.{{\omega }^{69}}=i $ $ (\because {{\omega }^{3n}}=i^{4n}=1) $
