MCQ
If ${(\sqrt 8 + i)^{50}} = {3^{49}}(a + ib)$ then ${a^2} + {b^2}$ is
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $8$
  • $9$
  • D
    $\sqrt 8 $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$9$
c
(c) ${(\sqrt 8 + i)^{50}} = {3^{49}}(a + ib)$
Taking modulus and squaring on both sides, we get
${(8 + 1)^{50}} = {3^{98}}({a^2} + {b^2})$
${9^{50}} = {3^{98}}({a^2} + {b^2})$
${3^{100}} = {3^{98}}({a^2} + {b^2})$
==> $({a^2} + {b^2}) = 9$.
