Solution
To find the value of the expression, we first need to determine the value of θ. The given complex number is z=1−3icosθ3+2icosθ. To find its real part, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 1+3icosθ.
z=(1−3icosθ)(1+3icosθ)(3+2icosθ)(1+3icosθ)
Expand the numerator: (3)(1)+(3)(3icosθ)+(2icosθ)(1)+(2icosθ)(3icosθ) =3+9icosθ+2icosθ+6i2cos2θ Since i2=−1, this becomes: =3+11icosθ−6cos2θ =(3−6cos2θ)+11icosθ
Expand the denominator using the formula (a−b)(a+b)=a2−b2: 12−(3icosθ)2 =1−9i2cos2θ Since i2=−1, this becomes: =1−9(−1)cos2θ =1+9cos2θ
So, the complex number z is: z=1+9cos2θ(3−6cos2θ)+11icosθ
Now, we separate the real and imaginary parts of z: Re(z)=1+9cos2θ3−6cos2θ Im(z)=1+9cos2θ11cosθ
The problem states that the real part of z is zero: Re(z)=0 1+9cos2θ3−6cos2θ=0
Since the denominator 1+9cos2θ is always positive (as cos2θ≥0, so 1+9cos2θ≥1), the numerator must be zero: 3−6cos2θ=0 3=6cos2θ cos2θ=63 cos2θ=21
We are given that θ∈(0,2π). In this interval, cosθ is positive. So, cosθ=21=21. For cosθ=21 in the interval (0,2π), the value of θ is 4π.
Now we need to find the value of sin23θ+cos2θ. Substitute θ=4π into the expression: sin2(3⋅4π)+cos2(4π) =sin2(43π)+cos2(4π)
We know that sin(43π)=sin(π−4π)=sin(4π)=21. And cos(4π)=21.
Substitute these values into the expression: (21)2+(21)2 =21+21 =1
