Answer:
B. Less than 1
Explanation:
You could plug in values of n greater than 1 and see what happens....
Example n=2 gives |(.5+.2i)^2|
Simplifying inside gives |(.5)^2+2(.5)(.2i)+(.2i)^2|
=|.25+.2i+.04i^2|=|.25+.2i-.04|=|.21+.2i|.
Applying the absolute value part gives sqrt(.21^2+.2^2)=sqrt(.0441+.04)=sqrt(.0841)=.29
This value is less than 1.
We should also be able to do the absolute value first then the power.
|.5+.2i|=sqrt(.25+.04)=sqrt(.29)
So |.5+.2i|^2=.29 which is what we got long way around.
Anyways (sqrt(.29))^n where n is greater than 1 will result in a number greater than 0 but less than 1.
