Core Logic

Solving the quadratic root configurations for x² - √(6)x + 3 = 0:

x = √(6) ± √(6 - 12)2 = √(6) ± i√(6)2 = √(6)2(1 ± i)

Given Im(α) > Im(β), we set:

α = √(3) ( 1+i√(2)) = √(3) eiπ/4 β = √(3) ( 1-i√(2)) = √(3) e-iπ/4
Step 1: Simplify Target Expression

Let us factor out common variables:

α⁹⁹β + α⁹⁸ = α⁹⁸ ( (α)/(β) + 1 ) = α⁹⁸(α + β)β

Since α + β = √(6):

Value = (√(3)eiπ/4)⁹⁸ · √(6)√(3)e-iπ/4 = 3⁴⁹ ei 98π/4 · √(2) eiπ/4 = 3⁴⁹ · √(2) ei 99π/4

Evaluate ei 99π/4:

99(π)/(4) = 24π + (3π)/(4) ei 99π/4 = ei 3π/4 = -1+i√(2)

Substituting this back:

Value = 3⁴⁹ · √(2) ( -1+i√(2) ) = 3⁴⁹(-1 + i)
Step 2: Resolving Constants

Comparing with the given expression 3ⁿ(a + ib):

n = 49, a = -1, b = 1

Therefore:

n + a + b = 49 - 1 + 1 = 49

Q26 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Properties of Modulus and Argument
If α denotes the number of solutions of |1 - i|^x = 2^x and β = ((|z|)/( (z))), where z = (π)/(4) (1 + i)⁴ ( 1 - √(π) i√(π) + i + √(π) - i1 + √(π) i), i = √(-1), then the distance of the point (α, β) from the line 4x - 3y = 7 is
Numerical Answer. Answer: 3 to 3

Solution

Core Logic
|1 - i|^x = 2^x (√(2))^x = 2^x 2x/2 = 2^x

This implies (x)/(2) = x x = 0. There is exactly 1 solution, so α = 1.

Step 1: Simplify complex number z
(1+i)⁴ = ((1+i)²)² = (1 + i² + 2i)² = (2i)² = -4

Thus, z = -π ( (1-√(π)i)(√(π)-i)π + 1 + (√(π)-i)(1-√(π)i)1 + π )

Step 2: Simplify Bracket

Let's expand the terms directly: z = (π)/(4)(-4) [ √(π) - π i - i - √(π)π + 1 + √(π) - i - π i - √(π)1 + π ]

= -π [ (-i(π+1))/(π+1) + (-i(π+1))/(π+1) ] = -π [ -i - i ] = 2π i
Step 3: Find beta

For z = 2π i: |z| = 2π and (z) = (π)/(2).

β = (|z|)/( (z)) = (2π)/(π/2) = 4
Step 4: Distance from Line

Distance of point (α, β) = (1, 4) from the line 4x - 3y - 7 = 0:

D = |4(1) - 3(4) - 7|√(4² + (-3)²) = (|4 - 12 - 7|)/(5) = (|-15|)/(5) = 3
