Question

Find the real values of θ for which the complex number \[\frac{1 + i cos\theta}{1 - 2i cos\theta}\]  is purely real.

Solution

\[\frac{1 + i\cos\theta}{1 - 2i\cos\theta}\]

\[ = \frac{1 + i\cos\theta}{1 - 2i\cos\theta} \times \frac{1 + 2i\cos\theta}{1 + 2i\cos\theta}\]

\[ = \frac{1 + 2i\cos\theta + i\cos\theta - 2\cos\theta}{1 + 4 \cos^2 \theta}\]

\[ = \frac{1 - 2\cos\theta + i3\cos\theta}{1 + 4 \cos^2 \theta}\]

\[\text { For it to be purely real, the imaginary part must be zero } . \]

\[3\cos\theta = 0\]

\[\text { This is true for odd multiples of } \frac{\pi}{2} . \]

\[ \therefore \theta = \left( 2n + 1 \right)\frac{\pi}{2}, n \in Z\]
