  1. A -17 -24 i
  2. B -17 + 24 i
  3. C 17 - 24 i
  4. D 17 + 24 i
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -17 + 24 i

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(x-1=2 i \quad \Rightarrow x^2-2 x+5=0\)
\(x^3+7 x^2-x+16 =x\left(x^2+7 x-1\right)+16 \)
\(=x[(0)+9 x-6]+16 \)
\(=9 x^2-6 x+16 \)
\(=9\left(x^2-2 x+5\right)+12 x-29 \)
\(=-17+24 i\)
