Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the expression \((\sqrt{3} + i)^{100} = 2^{99}(a + ib)\). Express the complex number \(z = \sqrt{3} + i\) in polar form. The modulus is \(r = |\sqrt{3} + i| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{3 + 1} = 2\). The argument \(\theta\) is given by…
