If $(\sqrt{8}+i)^{50}=3^{49}(a+i b)$, then $a^2+b^2$ is
A
3
B
8
✓
9
D
$\sqrt{8}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
9
(C) $(\sqrt{8}+ i )^{50}=3^{49}( a + ib )$ Taking modulus and squaring on both sides, we get $(8+1)^{50}=3^{98}\left(a^2+b^2\right)$ $\Rightarrow 9^{50}=3^{98}\left(a^2+b^2\right)$ $\Rightarrow 3^{100}=3^{98}\left( a ^2+ b ^2\right)$ $\Rightarrow\left( a ^2+ b ^2\right)=9$
