If the eight vertices of a regular octagon are given by the complex numbers \(\frac{1}{x_{\mathrm{j}}-2 i}(\mathrm{j}=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)\), then the radius of the circumcircle of the octagon is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{4}i\)
  3. C i
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the vertices of the octagon be \(z_{\mathrm{j}}\). So, \(z_{\mathrm{j}} = \frac{1}{x_{\mathrm{j}}-2i}\). Let \(w_{\mathrm{j}} = x_{\mathrm{j}}-2i\). Then \(z_{\mathrm{j}} = \frac{1}{w_{\mathrm{j}}}\). The points \(w_{\mathrm{j}}\) lie on the line \( \mathrm{Im}(w) = -2 \).…
