If $z(2-i)=(3+i)$, then $z^{38}=,($ where $z=x+$ iy $)$

If $z(2-i)=(3+i)$, then $z^{38}=,($ where $z=x+$ iy $)$
  1. $-\left(2^{19}\right) \mathrm{i}$
  2. $2^{19} \mathrm{i}$
  3. $-\left(2^{19}\right)$
  4. $2^{19}$

Solution

We have $(x+i y)(2-i)=3+i$ $\therefore 2 x+(2 y-x) i+y=3+i$ Solving eq. (1) and (2), we get $\begin{aligned} & x=1, y=1 \Rightarrow z=1+i=\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\mathrm{i} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \\ & \therefore \mathrm{z}=\sqrt{2}\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{4}+\mathrm{i} \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ & \therefore \mathrm{z}^{38}=(\sqrt{2})^{38}\left(\cos \frac{38 \pi}{4}+\mathrm{i} \sin \frac{38 \pi}{4}\right) \\ & =(2)^{19}\left[\cos \left(9 \pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\mathrm{i} \sin \left(9 \pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right] \\ & =(2)^{19}\left(-\cos \frac{\pi}{2}-\mathrm{i} \sin \frac{\pi}{2}\right)=2^{19}(0-i) \\ & =-\left(2^{19}\right) \mathrm{i} \end{aligned}$
