  1. A \(7\)
  2. B \(9\)
  3. C \(17\)
  4. D \(39\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x=\frac{5}{1-2 \mathrm{i}}=\frac{5(1+2 \mathrm{i})}{1+4}=1+2 \mathrm{i} \)
\( \therefore x^2=(1+2 \mathrm{i})^2=1-4+4 \mathrm{i}=-3+4 \mathrm{i} \)
\( \therefore x^3=(-3+4 \mathrm{i})(1+2 \mathrm{i}) \)
\( =-3-6 i+4 i-8 \)
\( =-11-2 \mathrm{i} \)
\( \therefore x^3+x^2-x+22 \)
\( =(-11-2 \mathrm{i})+(-3+4 \mathrm{i})-(1+2 \mathrm{i})+22 \)
\( =-11-2 \mathrm{i}-3+4 \mathrm{i}-1-2 \mathrm{i}+22 \)
\( =7\)
