If a complex number is purely imaginary, then it must be equal to negative of its conjugate.
⇒z+αz−α=−(z+αz−α)⇒z+αz−α=−(z−+αz−−α)
⇒(z−α)(z−+α)=(z+α)(z−−α)
⇒zz−+αz−αz−−α2=−(zz−−αz+αz−−α2)
⇒∣z∣2=α2
⇒α2=4[∵∣z∣=2]
⇒α=±2

Let the set of all values of $k \in \mathbb{R}$ such that the equation $z(\bar{z} + 2 + i) + k(2 + 3i) = 0$, $z \in \mathbb{C}$, has at least one solution, be the interval $[\alpha, \beta]$. Then $9(\alpha + \beta)$ is equal to:
If $\alpha=1$ and $\beta=1+i\sqrt{2}$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ are two roots of the equation $x^3+ax^2+bx+c=0$, $a,b,c \in \mathbb{R}$, then $\int_{-1}^{1}(x^3+ax^2+bx+c)dx$ is equal to:
Let $\alpha = 3+4+8+9+13+14+\ldots$ upto 40 terms. If $(\tan\beta)^{\frac{\alpha}{1020}}$ is a root of the equation $x^2+x-2=0$, $\beta \in \left(0, \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)$, then $\sin^2\beta + 3\cos^2\beta$ is equal to:
$\frac{6}{3^{26}}+\frac{10 \cdot 1}{3^{25}}+\frac{10 \cdot 2}{3^{24}}+\frac{10 \cdot 2^{2}}{3^{23}}+\ldots+\frac{10 \cdot 2^{24}}{3}$ is equal to :
Let $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}$ denote the coefficient of $x^{\mathrm{r}}$ in the binomial expansion of $(1+x)^{\mathrm{n}}, \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{N}, 0 \leq \mathrm{r} \leq \mathrm{n}$. If $P_{n}=C_{0}-C_{1}+\frac{2^{2}}{3} C_{2}-\frac{2^{3}}{4} C_{3}+\ldots. .+\frac{(-2)^{n}}{n+1} C_{n}$, then the value of $\sum_{n=1}^{25} \frac{1}{P_{2 n}}$ equals.
