    If\[\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}i\]is a solution of the equation\[a{{x}^{2}}-6x+b=0,\]where a and b are real numbers, then the value of\[a+b\]is equal to

    A)  10                                         

    B)  22

    C)  30                         

    D)         29

    E)  31

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Since,\[\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}i\]is a solution of equation \[a{{x}^{2}}-6x+b=0\] \[\therefore \] \[a{{\left( \frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}i \right)}^{2}}-\left( \frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2} \right)i+b=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a\left( -10+\frac{21}{2}i \right)-6\left( \frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}i \right)+b=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[10a-b=-9\]and \[\frac{21}{2}a-21=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=2\] \[\therefore \]  \[b=29\] \[\therefore \]  \[a+b=2+29=31\] Alternate Let\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]are the roots of given equation. Let          \[\alpha =\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}i\] Then,    \[\beta =\frac{3}{2}-\frac{7}{2}i\] and given equation is \[a{{x}^{2}}-6x+b\] Now,   \[\alpha +\beta \,=\frac{6}{a}=\frac{6}{2}\Rightarrow a=2\] \[\alpha .\beta =\frac{b}{a}=\left( \frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}i \right)\left( \frac{3}{2}-\frac{7}{2}i \right)=\frac{9}{4}+\frac{49}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[b=29\] \[\therefore \]  \[a+b=29+2=31\]
