MCQ
If $i z ^4+1=0$, then z can take the value
  • A
    $\frac{1+i}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • $\cos \frac{\pi}{8}+ i \sin \frac{\pi}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4 i}$
  • D
    i

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\cos \frac{\pi}{8}+ i \sin \frac{\pi}{8}$
(B)
$i z^4=-1 \Rightarrow z^4=\frac{-1}{i} \Rightarrow z^4=i \Rightarrow z=(i)^{\frac{1}{4}}$
$\Rightarrow z=(0+i)^{\frac{1}{4}} \Rightarrow z=\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{2}+i \sin \frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}$
$\Rightarrow z =\cos \frac{\pi}{8}+ i \sin \frac{\pi}{8}$ (using DeMoivre's theorem)
