MCQ
If $x + \frac{1}{x} = 2\cos \theta ,$ then $x$ is equal to
  • A
    $\cos \theta + i\,\sin \theta $
  • B
    $\cos \theta - i\,\sin \theta $
  • $\cos \theta \pm i\,\sin \theta $
  • D
    $\sin \theta \pm i\,\cos \theta $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\cos \theta \pm i\,\sin \theta $
c
(c) $x + \frac{1}{x} = 2\cos \theta $$ \Rightarrow \,{x^2} - 2x\cos \theta + 1 = 0$
==> $x = \frac{{2\cos \theta \pm \sqrt {4{{\cos }^2}\theta - 4} }}{2}$ ==> $x = \cos \theta \pm i\sin \theta $.
