The correct option is 43+3205214.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let z=reiθ, where r=z>0 and θ is the argument of z.

The complex conjugate of z is given by:

z=re-iθ

Now, let us find the terms z2 and 1z2:

z2=r2e-2iθ

1z2=1r2e2iθ=1r2e-2iθ

Adding these two expressions gives:

w=z2+1z2=r2+1r2e-2iθ

Using Euler's formula e-2iθ=cos(2θ)-isin(2θ), we separate w into real and imaginary parts:

Re(w)=r2+1r2cos(2θ)

Im(w)=-r2+1r2sin(2θ)

We are given that both Re(w) and Im(w) are integers. Let:

Re(w)=mZ

Im(w)=nZ

Taking the sum of the squares of the real and imaginary parts:

m2+n2=r2+1r22cos2(2θ)+sin2(2θ)=r2+1r22

Thus, we have:

r2+1r22=m2+n2

Expanding the left side:

r4+1r4+2=m2+n2

r4+1r4=m2+n2-2

For the option r=43+3205214, we have:

r4=43+32052

To find 1r4, rationalize the denominator:

1r4=243+3205=2(43-3205)432-9×205=2(43-3205)1849-1845=43-32052

Adding r4 and 1r4:

r4+1r4=43+32052+43-32052=43

Substituting this back into the equation for m2+n2:

m2+n2-2=43m2+n2=45

Since 45=62+32, integer solutions exist for m and n (for example, m=6 and n=-3).

Therefore, z=43+3205214 is a possible value of z.
