Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text {} \begin{aligned} z & =(1-i)^3(x+i) \\ \Rightarrow \quad z & =(1+i-3 i(1-i))(x+i) \\ & =(-2 i-2)(x+i) \\ \Rightarrow \quad & z=(2-2 x)-i(2+2 x) \end{aligned}\) If \(z\) is purely imaginary: \(2-2 x=0\) \(\Rightarrow x=1 \quad \therefore x_1=1\) If \(z\) is purely real:…
