Application +4 | -1
If a1,a2,…,ana_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n are real numbers and cos⁡α+isin⁡α\cos \alpha+i \sin \alpha is a root of

xn+a1xn−1+a2xn−2+…+an−1x+an=0x^n+a_1 x^{n-1}+a_2 x^{n-2}+\ldots+a_{n-1} x+a_n=0 (1)

then value of ∣a1cos⁡α+a2cos⁡2α+…+ancos⁡(nα)∣\left|a_1 \cos \alpha+a_2 \cos 2 \alpha+\ldots+a_n \cos (n \alpha)\right| is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1
Option A (1) is correct because substituting the root into the polynomial and equating the real part to zero leads to the given expression being equal to -1, and taking the absolute value gives 1.
