Question

What is the smallest positive integer n for which $(1+\text{i})^{2\text{n}}=(1-\text{i})^{2\text{n}} \ ?$

✓

Answer

$(1+\text{i})^{2\text{n}}=(1-\text{i})^{2\text{n}}$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{1+\text{i}}{1-\text{i}}\Big)^{2\text{n}}=1$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{(1+\text{i})(1+\text{i})}{(1-\text{i})(1+\text{i})}\Big)^{2\text{n}}=1$ [Rationalizing the denominator] $\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{1+2\text{i}-1}{1+1}\Big)^{2\text{n}}=1$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{2\text{i}}{2}\Big)^{2\text{n}}=1$ $\Rightarrow\text{i}^{2\text{n}}=1$ $\therefore\text{n}=2$
