    Let \[\alpha \text{ }and\text{ }\beta \] be two roots of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+2=0\], then \[{{\alpha }^{15}}+{{\beta }^{15}}\] is equal to: [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) -256

    B) 512

    C) -512

    D) 256  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Equation \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+2=0\] has roots \[\alpha \], \[\beta \] \[{{\left( x+1 \right)}^{2}}+1=0\] \[\,x=\,\,-1=\pm \,\,i\] \[x=-1\text{ }\pm \text{ }i\] Let   \[\alpha \,=\,\,-1\,\,+\,\,i\]      \[\beta \,\,=\,\,-1\,\,+\,\,i\] \[\alpha \,\,=\,\,\sqrt{2}{{e}^{i3\pi /4}},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\beta \,\,=\,\,\sqrt{2}\,{{e}^{i5\pi /4}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,{{a}^{15}}\,\,+\,\,{{\beta }^{15}}\,\,=\,{{(\sqrt{2}{{e}^{i3\pi /4}})}^{15}}\,+\,\,{{(\sqrt{2}\,{{e}^{i5\pi /4}})}^{15}}\] \[=\,{{(\sqrt{2})}^{15}}\,\left[ \cos \,\frac{45\pi }{4}+i\sin \,\frac{45\pi }{4}+\cos \,\frac{75\pi }{4}+i\sin \,\frac{75\pi }{4} \right]\] \[=\,\,\,{{2}^{15/2}}\,\left[ \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{i}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{i}{\sqrt{2}} \right]\] \[=\text{ }-2\]8 = -256
