If + i and + i are the roots of x2 - (3 - 2i)x - (2i - 2) = 0, i = -1, then + is equal to:

  1. 2
  2. -6
  3. 6
  4. -2

Answer

(1) 2

Solution

Discriminant: D = (3 - 2i)2 + 4(2i - 2)

= 9 - 12i - 4 + 8i - 8 = -3 - 4i

(1 - 2i)2 = 1 - 4i - 4 = -3 - 4i

D = (1 - 2i)

x = (3 - 2i) (1 - 2i)2

x = 2 - 2i or x = 1

Taking + i = 2 - 2i and + i = 1 + 0i:

= 2, = -2, = 1, = 0

+ = 2(1) + (-2)(0) = 2

(The value is the same if the two roots are interchanged.)
