Question
The number of solutions of the equation z2 + ¯z = 0 is
Answer: Option D
:
D
Let z = x+iy, so that ¯z = x - iy, therefore
z2+¯z=0⇔(x2−y2+x)+i(2xy−y) = 0
Equating real and imaginary parts , we get
x2−y2+x = 0 .......(i)
And 2xy - y = 0⇒ y = 0 or x = 12
if y = 0 , then (i) gives x2 + x = 0⇒ x = 0 or
x = -1
If x = 12,
Then x2−y2+x=0⇒y2=14+12=34⇒y=±√32
Hence, there are four solutions in all.
