Mathematics Question on complex numbers
Let
S = \left\\{z∈C : z^2+\overline{z} = 0 \right\\}. Then ∑z∈S(Re(z)+Im(z))
is equal to____.
Answer
The correct answer is 0
∵z2+z=0 Let z=x+iy
∴x2+y2+2ixy+x−iy=0
(x2−y2+x)+i(2xy−y)=0
∴x2+y2=0 and (2x−1)y=0
If x=+21 then y=±23
And if y = 0 then x = 0, –1
∴ z=0+0i,−1+0i,21+23i,21−23i
∴∑(Re(z)+m(z))=0
