The roots of the equation `x^(4)-2x^(2)+4=0` are the vertices of `a` :A. square inscribed in a circle of radius `2`B. rectangle inscribed in a circle of radius `2`C. square inscribed in a circle of radius `sqrt(2)`D. rectangle inscribed in a circle of radius `sqrt(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`(d)` `x^(4)-2x^(2)+4=0`
`impliesx^(2)=1+-sqrt(3)i`
`=2e^(+-(pi)/(3))`
`implies x=+-sqrt(2)e^(+-i(pi)/(6))`
These points lie on a circle of radius `sqrt(2)`, as the diagonals intersect at an angle `pi//3`,
`:.` These are the vertices of an inscribed rectangle.
