    If \[\alpha ,\beta \]are the roots of the equation \[{{u}^{2}}-2u+2=0\]and if \[\cot \theta =x+1\], then \[[{{(x+\alpha )}^{n}}-{{(x+\beta )}^{n}}]/[\alpha -\beta ]\]is equal to

    A) \[\frac{\sin n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta }\]

    B) \[\frac{\cos n\theta }{{{\cos }^{n}}\theta }\]

    C) \[\frac{\sin n\theta }{{{\cos }^{n}}\theta }\]     

    D) \[\frac{\cos n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta }\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    \[{{u}^{2}}-2u+2=0\Rightarrow u=1\pm i\]
    \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{(x+\alpha )}^{2}}-{{(x+\beta )}^{n}}}{\alpha -\beta }\]
    \[=\frac{{{[(cot\theta -1)+(1+i)]}^{n}}-{{[(cot\theta -1)+(1-i)]}^{n}}}{2i}\]       \[(\therefore cot\theta -1=x)\]
    \[=\frac{{{(cos\theta +isin\theta )}^{n}}-{{(cos\theta -isin\theta )}^{n}}}{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta 2i}\]
    \[=\frac{2i\sin n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta 2i}=\frac{\sin n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta }\]
