2Q

try these 2 questions :)

1). if z +1z =2cos3°

then find the value of z2009 + 1z2009

2) if x= 4((51/2 +1)(51/4+1)(51/8+1)(51/16 +1))
then find the last digit of (x+1)48.......

the first one seems very simple to me...

take z = cos a + i sin a

1/z = cos a - i sin a

z+1/z = 2 cos a

so a=3 degree

now can you solve it?

it will be 2 cos (2009 x 3)

The second one is a not so tough one.. try to write 4 = (5-1) = (51/2-1)(51/2+1)

see 51/2+1 gets cancelled.. then if you write 51/2-1 = ( 51/4+1 )( 51/4+1 ) then again ( 51/4+1 ) will get cancelled and so on..

so the value of x will be 51/16-1

so x+1 = 51/16

so (x+1)48 = 125

A very similar way for the 2nd sum is to multiply numerator & Denominator by \sqrt[16]{5}-1.......
