Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula For a quadratic equation Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0, roots can be obtained via the quadratic formula: x = frac-B pm sqrtB^2 - 4AC2A ### Core Logic Given quadratic equation: x^2-(3-2i)x-(2i-2)=0 Using the quadratic formula where A=1, B=-(3-2i), C=-(2i-2): x = frac(3-2i) pm sqrt(3-2i)^2 - 4(1)(-(2i-2))2 ### Step 1: Simplify the Discriminant textDiscriminant D = (3-2i)^2 + 4(2i-2) D = (9 - 4 - 12i) + (8i - 8) D = 5 - 12i + 8i - 8 = -3 - 4i We need to find sqrt-3-4i. Let it be written as a perfect square: -3-4i = 1 - 4 - 4i = 1^2 + (2i)^2 - 2(1)(2i) = (1-2i)^2 Thus, sqrtD = pm(1-2i). ### Step 2: Find the Roots Boxedx = frac(3-2i) pm (1-2i)2 Case 1 (+ sign): x_1 = frac3 - 2i + 1 - 2i2 = frac4 - 4i2 = 2 - 2i Case 2 (- sign): x_2 = frac3 - 2i - 1 + 2i2 = frac22 = 1 + 0i Let the roots be alpha + ibeta = 2 - 2i implies alpha=2, beta=-2 and gamma + idelta = 1 + 0i implies gamma=1, delta=0 ### Step 3: Evaluate Target Expression alphagamma + betadelta = (2)(1) + (-2)(0) = 2 ### Pattern Recognition Always try to express the complex number under the square root in the form (a + bi)^2 by matching the imaginary part 2ab = -4i implies ab = -2, and a^2 - b^2 = -3. This avoids long calculations. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Q26 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Properties of Modulus and Argument
If alpha denotes the number of solutions of |1 - i|^x = 2^x and beta = left(frac|z|arg(z)right), where z = fracpi4 (1 + i)^4 left(frac1 - sqrtpi isqrtpi + i + fracsqrtpi - i1 + sqrtpi iright), i = sqrt-1, then the distance of the point (alpha, beta) from the line 4x - 3y = 7 is
Numerical Answer. Answer: 3 to 3

Solution

### Core Logic |1 - i|^x = 2^x implies (sqrt2)^x = 2^x implies 2^x/2 = 2^x This implies fracx2 = x implies x = 0. There is exactly 1 solution, so alpha = 1. ### Step 1: Simplify complex number z (1+i)^4 = ((1+i)^2)^2 = (1 + i^2 + 2i)^2 = (2i)^2 = -4 Thus, z = -pi left( frac(1-sqrtpii)(sqrtpi-i)pi + 1 + frac(sqrtpi-i)(1-sqrtpii)1 + pi right) ### Step 2: Simplify Bracket Let's expand the terms directly: z = fracpi4(-4) left[ fracsqrtpi - pi i - i - sqrtpipi + 1 + fracsqrtpi - i - pi i - sqrtpi1 + pi right] = -pi left[ frac-i(pi+1)pi+1 + frac-i(pi+1)pi+1 right] = -pi [ -i - i ] = 2pi i ### Step 3: Find beta For z = 2pi i: |z| = 2pi and arg(z) = fracpi2. beta = frac|z|arg(z) = frac2pipi/2 = 4 ### Step 4: Distance from Line Distance of point (alpha, beta) = (1, 4) from the line 4x - 3y - 7 = 0: D = frac|4(1) - 3(4) - 7|sqrt4^2 + (-3)^2 = frac|4 - 12 - 7|5 = frac|-15|5 = 3 ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Class 11 Maths: Straight Lines
