The area of the polygon, whose vertices are the non-real roots of the equation z‾=iz2\overline z = i{z^2} is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 334{{3\sqrt 3 } \over 4}
  • B 332{{3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}
  • C 32{3 \over 2}
  • D 34{3 \over 4}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

z‾=iz2\overline z = i{z^2}

Let z=x+iyz = x + iy

x−iy=i(x2−y2+2xiy)x - iy = i({x^2} - {y^2} + 2xiy)

x−iy=i(x2−y2)−2xyx - iy = i({x^2} - {y^2}) - 2xy

∴\therefore x=−2yxx = - 2yx or x2−y2=−y{x^2} - {y^2} = - y

x=0x = 0 or y=−12y = - {1 \over 2}

Case - I

x=0x = 0

−y2=−y- {y^2} = - y

y=0,  1y = 0,\,\,1

Case - II

y=−12y = - {1 \over 2}

⇒x2−14=12⇒x=±32\Rightarrow {x^2} - {1 \over 4} = {1 \over 2} \Rightarrow x = \pm {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}

x={0,i,32−i2,−32−i2}x = \left\{ {0,i,{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} - {i \over 2},{{ - \sqrt 3 } \over 2} - {i \over 2}} \right\}

Area of polygon =12|01132−121−32−121|

=12∣−3   −32∣=334= {1 \over 2}\left| { - \sqrt 3 \,\,\, - {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right| = {{3\sqrt 3 } \over 4}
