Let $z \in \mathbb{C}$ and if $A = \{z : \arg(z) = \frac{\pi}{4}\}$ and $B = \{z : \arg(z - 3 - 3i) = \frac{2\pi}{3}\}$. Then $n(A \cap B)$ is equal to:
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Understanding different representations and properties of binomial coefficients, including Pascal's identity.
Step 1: Understand the definition of Set A
Set A consists of all complex numbers $z$ whose argument is $\frac{\pi}{4}$.
Geometrically, this represents a ray starting from the origin $(0,0)$ and extending infinitely, making an angle of $45^\circ$ with the positive real axis. The origin itself is excluded because $\arg(0)$ is undefined.
Thus, for $z \in A$, we can write $z = r e^{i\pi/4}$ for some real number $r > 0$.
In Cartesian coordinates, if $z = x+iy$, then $\frac{y}{x} = \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1$, so $y=x$. Since the angle is in the first quadrant, $x > 0$ and $y > 0$.
Step 2: Understand the definition of Set B
Set B consists of all complex numbers $z$ such that the argument of $z - (3+3i)$ is $\frac{2\pi}{3}$.
Geometrically, this represents a ray starting from the point $P(3,3)$ and extending infinitely, making an angle of $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ (or $120^\circ$) with the positive real axis. The starting point $P(3,3)$ itself is excluded because $\arg(0)$ is undefined.
Thus, for $z \in B$, we can write $z - (3+3i) = s e^{i2\pi/3}$ for some real number $s > 0$.
Rearranging, $z = (3+3i) + s e^{i2\pi/3}$ for $s > 0$.
Step 3: Find the intersection $A \cap B$
To find the intersection, we look for complex numbers $z$ that satisfy both conditions.
Let $z \in A \cap B$. Then we must have:
$$ r e^{i\pi/4} = (3+3i) + s e^{i2\pi/3} $$
where $r > 0$ and $s > 0$.
We use Euler's formula $e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta$ to express the complex exponentials:
$e^{i\pi/4} = \cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) + i\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + i\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$e^{i2\pi/3} = \cos(\frac{2\pi}{3}) + i\sin(\frac{2\pi}{3}) = -\frac{1}{2} + i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Substitute these into the equation:
$$ r \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + i\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = (3+3i) + s \left(-\frac{1}{2} + i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) $$
$$ \frac{r}{\sqrt{2}} + i\frac{r}{\sqrt{2}} = \left(3 - \frac{s}{2}\right) + i\left(3 + \frac{s\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) $$
Equating the real parts and imaginary parts separately:
1. Real parts: $\frac{r}{\sqrt{2}} = 3 - \frac{s}{2} \quad (*)$
2. Imaginary parts: $\frac{r}{\sqrt{2}} = 3 + \frac{s\sqrt{3}}{2} \quad (**)$
From equations $(*)$ and $(**)$, since their left-hand sides are equal, their right-hand sides must also be equal:
$$ 3 - \frac{s}{2} = 3 + \frac{s\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
Subtract 3 from both sides:
$$ -\frac{s}{2} = \frac{s\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
Multiply by 2:
$$ -s = s\sqrt{3} $$
Rearrange the terms:
$$ s\sqrt{3} + s = 0 $$
Factor out $s$:
$$ s(\sqrt{3} + 1) = 0 $$
Since $\sqrt{3} + 1 \neq 0$, it must be that $s = 0$.
However, our definition of $z \in B$ requires $s > 0$. A value of $s=0$ would mean $z = 3+3i$, for which $\arg(z-(3+3i)) = \arg(0)$ is undefined. Thus, $3+3i \notin B$.
Since we found $s=0$, which contradicts the condition $s>0$, there are no complex numbers $z$ that can satisfy both conditions simultaneously.
Therefore, the intersection $A \cap B$ is an empty set, and the number of elements in the intersection, $n(A \cap B)$, is $0$.
Step 4: Evaluate the options and state the final answer
We found $n(A \cap B) = 0$. Let's check the given options:
Option 1: 1
Option 2: $\sum_{r=0}^{99} i^r$
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 0
First, we evaluate Option 2: $\sum_{r=0}^{99} i^r$.
The powers of $i$ follow a cycle of four terms:
$i^0 = 1$
$i^1 = i$
$i^2 = -1$
$i^3 = -i$
The sum of one complete cycle is $1+i-1-i = 0$.
The sum $\sum_{r=0}^{99} i^r$ contains $100$ terms (from $r=0$ to $r=99$).
Since $100$ is a multiple of 4 ($100 = 25 \times 4$), the sum consists of 25 complete cycles of powers of $i$.
Thus, $\sum_{r=0}^{99} i^r = 25 \times (1+i-1-i) = 25 \times 0 = 0$.
Both Option 2 and Option 4 evaluate to 0.
Since $n(A \cap B) = 0$, both Option 2 and Option 4 are correct answers.
The final answer is $\boxed{0}$. This corresponds to Option 2 and Option 4.
Correct Answer: 2,4
