The correct option is B 15
z+z−1=1⇒z2−z+1=0⇒z=1±√3i2=−ω,−ω2
where ω is the cube root of unity.
Now, zn+z−n
=(−ω)n+(−ω)−n or (−ω2)n+(−ω2)−n=(−1)n[(ω)n+(1ω)n] or (−1)n[(ω2)n+(1ω2)n]=(−1)n[ωn+ω2n] or (−1)n[ω2n+ωn]=(−1)n[ωn+ω2n]
When n=3m, m∈Z
zn+z−n=(−1)3m[1+1] =(−1)m×2
When n is not a multiple of 3, then
zn+z−n=(−1)n[−1]=(−1)n+1
Therefore, the minimum value of zn+z−n occurs when m=1,3,5,⋯
Hence, a possible value of n is 15.
