<p>The number of solutions of \(z^2 + 3\bar{z} = 0\) is:</p>
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Write z = r \cdot e^(i\theta). z^2+3z̄=0 \Rightarrow r^2e^(2i\theta)+3re^(-i\theta)=0. For r\neq0: re^(3i\theta) = -3, so r=3 and e^(3i\theta)=-1 \Rightarrow 3\theta = \pi+2k\pi \Rightarrow 3 solutions. Plus z=0. Total = 4.
<p>$z=0$ is one solution. For $z\neq 0$: $z^2=-3\bar{z}\Rightarrow |z|^2=-3z/z\cdot z\bar{z}/|z|$... Let $z=re^{i\theta}$: $r^2 e^{2i\theta}+3re^{-i\theta}=0\Rightarrow re^{3i\theta}=-3\Rightarrow r=3, 3\theta=(2k+1)\pi$, giving $\theta=\pi/3, \pi, 5\pi/3$ — 3 solutions. Total=4. But key=B=2...
