Let α and β be the sum and the product of all the non-zero solutions of the equation (z¯)2+|z|=0, z∈C. Then 4(α2+β2) is equal to [2024]
(3)
We have, (z¯)2+|z|=0 ...(i)
Let z=x+iy⇒z¯=x-iy
From (i), (x-iy)2+|x+iy|=0
⇒x2-y2-2ixy+x2+y2=0
⇒(x2-y2+x2+y2)-i(2xy)=0
⇒x2-y2+x2+y2=0 and 2xy=0
Case I: x=0 and y≠0
⇒-y2+|y|=0⇒|y|=y2⇒y=±1
Case II: x≠0 and y=0
⇒x2+|x|=0
⇒x=0 only (∵x∈R)
⇒x=0,y=0 (Rejected) ⇒z=i,-i are solutions.
Hence, α=i+(-i)=0 and β=i(-i)=-i2=1
Hence, 4(α2+β2)=4(0+1)=4
