    If\[x\]satisfies\[{{x}^{2}}-2x\text{ }cos\theta +1=0,\]then the value of\[\left( {{x}^{n}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{n}}} \right)\]is:

    A)  \[{{2}^{n}}\cos n\theta \]

    B)                                         \[{{2}^{n}}{{\cos }^{n}}\theta \]              

    C)         \[2{{\cos }^{n}}\theta \]                             

    D)         \[2\cos n\theta \]

    E)         \[2\sin n\theta \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{x}^{2}}-2x\cos \theta +1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=\frac{2\cos \theta \pm \sqrt{4{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -4}}{2}\]                 \[x=\cos \theta \pm i\sin \theta \] Take\[+\]sign, \[x=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{n}}=\cos n\theta +i\sin n\theta \] \[\therefore \] \[{{x}^{n}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{n}}}=\cos n\theta +i\sin n\theta +\cos n\theta -i\sin n\theta \]                 \[=2\cos n\theta \]
