Given $z$ is a complex number with modulus $1$. Then the equation $\dfrac{(1+ia)}{(1-ia)}$ = $z$ has
-
all roots real and distinct
-
two real and one imaginary
-
three roots real and one imaginary
-
one root real and three imaginary
$\displaystyle { \left( \frac { 1+ia }{ 1-ia } \right) }^{ 4 }=z\quad $ ...(1)
$\displaystyle & \quad \left| z \right| =1$
$\displaystyle z=cisA=\cos { A } +i\sin { A } $
Substitute $z$ in equation (1)
$\displaystyle { \left( \frac { 1+ia }{ 1-ia } \right) }={ cisA }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 4 } }=cis\frac { 2k\pi +A }{ 4 } $ ...{De Moivre's Theorem}
where $ k=0,1,2,3$
Let $\displaystyle B=\frac { 2k\pi +A }{ 4 } $
$\displaystyle \Longrightarrow ia=\frac { -1+cisB }{ 1+cisB } =\frac { \sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( i\cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } } -\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } } \right) } }{ \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } } +i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } } \right) } } $
$\displaystyle \Longrightarrow ia=\frac { i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } } +i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } } \right) } }{ \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } } +i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } } \right) } } $
$\displaystyle \Longrightarrow a=\tan { \frac { B }{ 2 } } $
Therefore roots are real and distinct.
