    If\[{{x}^{2}}-2x\cos \theta +1=0\], then the value of\[{{x}^{2n}}-2{{x}^{n}}\cos n\theta +1\]\[n\in N\]is equal to -

    A) \[\cos 2n\theta \]

    B) \[\sin 2n\theta \]

    C) \[0\]

    D)  some real number greater than 0

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{x}^{2}}-2x\cos \theta +1=0\], \[\therefore \]\[x=\frac{2\cos \theta \pm \sqrt{4{{\cos }^{4}}\theta -4}}{2}=\cos \theta \pm i\sin \theta \] Let\[x=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta \] \[\therefore \]\[{{x}^{2n}}-2{{x}^{n}}\cos n\theta +1\] \[=\cos 2n\theta +i\sin 2n\theta -2(\cos n\theta +i\sin n\theta )\cos n\theta +1\]\[=\cos 2n\theta +1-2{{\cos }^{2}}n\theta +i(\sin 2n\theta -2\sin n\theta \cos n\theta )\]\[=0+i0=0\]
