Solution

The real value of θ for which the expression `(1 + i cos theta)/(1 - 2i cos theta)` is a real number is `underlinebb(2npi +-  pi/2)`.

Explanation:

Let z = `(1 + i cos theta)/(1 - 2i cos theta)`

= `(1 + i cos theta)/(1 - 2i cos theta) xx (1 + 2i cos theta)/(1 + 2i cos theta)`

= `(1 + 2i cos theta + i cos theta + 2i^2 cos^2 theta)/(1 - 4i^2 cos^2 theta)`

= `(1 + 3i cos theta - 2 cos^2 theta)/(1 + 4 cos^2 theta)`

= `(1 - 2 cos^2 theta)/(1 + 4 cos^2 theta) + (3 cos theta)/(1 + 4 cos^2 theta)i`

If z is a real number, then

`(3 cos theta)/(1 + 4cos^2 theta)` = 0

⇒ 3cosθ = 0

⇒ cosθ = 0

∴ θ = `2npi +-  pi/2`, n ∈ N.
