Q38 / 108 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Complex Number

If Z=cos⁡ϕ+isin⁡ϕ ∀ϕ∈π3,π, then the value of argZ2-Z is equal to (where, arg(Z) represents the argument of the complex number Z lying in the interval -π,π and i2=-1)

  • A
    3ϕ+π2
  • B
    3ϕ2
  • Correct answer
    C
    32ϕ-π
  • D
    3ϕ-π2

Solution

Z2-Z=ZZ-1
=cos⁡ϕ+isin⁡ϕcos⁡ϕ-1+isin⁡ϕ
=cos⁡ϕ+isin⁡ϕ-2sin2ϕ2+i2sinϕ2cosϕ2
=2isinϕ2cos3ϕ2+isin3ϕ2
=2sinϕ2cos3ϕ+π2+isin3ϕ+π2
Now, 3ϕ∈π,3π⇒3ϕ+π2∈π,2π
But, the argument lies in -π,π, hence
argZ2-Z=3ϕ+π2-2π=32ϕ-π

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
