If \(x+i y=\frac{3}{2+\cos (\theta)+i \sin (\theta)}\), then \(x^2+y^2=\)

If \(x+i y=\frac{3}{2+\cos (\theta)+i \sin (\theta)}\), then \(x^2+y^2=\)
  1. \(4 x-3\)
  2. \(4 x+3\)
  3. 0
  4. 1

Solution

It is given that, \(\begin{aligned} x+i y & =\frac{3}{2+\cos \theta+i \sin \theta}=\frac{3(2+\cos \theta-i \sin \theta)}{(2+\cos \theta)^2+\sin ^2 \theta} \\ \Rightarrow \quad x+i y & =\frac{3(2+\cos \theta)}{5+4 \cos \theta}-i \frac{3 \sin \theta}{5+4 \cos \theta} \\ \because \quad x^2+y^2 & =(x+i y)(x-i y)=\frac{9}{(2+\cos \theta)^2+\sin ^2 \theta} \\ & =\frac{9}{5+4 \cos \theta} \\ \because 4 x-3 & =\frac{12(2+\cos \theta)}{5+4 \cos \theta}-3 \\ & =\frac{24+12 \cos \theta-15-12 \cos \theta}{5+4 \cos \theta}=\frac{9}{5+4 \cos \theta} \\ \therefore \quad x^2+y^2 & =4 x-3 \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (a) is correct.
