Step-by-Step Solution

1. Express ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 in the form a+iba+ib

We rearrange the given complex numbers ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 to separate their real and imaginary parts. This facilitates their multiplication.

Given: ω1=(8+i)sinθ+(7+4i)cosθ\omega_1 = (8+i) \sin \theta+(7+4 i) \cos \theta Distribute sinθ\sin \theta and cosθ\cos \theta: ω1=8sinθ+isinθ+7cosθ+4icosθ\omega_1 = 8 \sin \theta + i \sin \theta + 7 \cos \theta + 4i \cos \theta Group the real and imaginary terms: ω1=(8sinθ+7cosθ)+i(sinθ+4cosθ)\omega_1 = (8 \sin \theta + 7 \cos \theta) + i(\sin \theta + 4 \cos \theta) Let A=8sinθ+7cosθA = 8 \sin \theta + 7 \cos \theta and B=sinθ+4cosθB = \sin \theta + 4 \cos \theta. Then, ω1=A+iB\omega_1 = A + iB.

Similarly for ω2\omega_2: ω2=(1+8i)sinθ+(4+7i)cosθ\omega_2 = (1+8 i) \sin \theta+(4+7 i) \cos \theta Distribute sinθ\sin \theta and cosθ\cos \theta: ω2=sinθ+8isinθ+4cosθ+7icosθ\omega_2 = \sin \theta + 8i \sin \theta + 4 \cos \theta + 7i \cos \theta Group the real and imaginary terms: ω2=(sinθ+4cosθ)+i(8sinθ+7cosθ)\omega_2 = (\sin \theta + 4 \cos \theta) + i(8 \sin \theta + 7 \cos \theta) The real part of ω2\omega_2 is BB and the imaginary part is AA. Thus, ω2=B+iA\omega_2 = B + iA.

2. Calculate the Product ω1ω2\omega_1 \omega_2

We find the product ω1ω2=(A+iB)(B+iA)\omega_1 \omega_2 = (A+iB)(B+iA).

ω1ω2=(A+iB)(B+iA)\omega_1 \omega_2 = (A+iB)(B+iA) Expand the product: ω1ω2=AB+iA2+iB2+i2AB\omega_1 \omega_2 = AB + iA^2 + iB^2 + i^2 AB Since i2=1i^2 = -1: ω1ω2=AB+iA2+iB2AB\omega_1 \omega_2 = AB + iA^2 + iB^2 - AB ω1ω2=i(A2+B2)\omega_1 \omega_2 = i(A^2 + B^2) We are given that the product is α+iβ\alpha + i\beta. Comparing real and imaginary parts: α+iβ=0+i(A2+B2)\alpha + i\beta = 0 + i(A^2 + B^2) Therefore, α=0\alpha = 0 and β=A2+B2\beta = A^2 + B^2.

3. Simplify the Expression for α+β\alpha + \beta

Since α=0\alpha = 0, we have α+β=β=A2+B2\alpha + \beta = \beta = A^2 + B^2. Substitute the expressions for AA and BB: A2=(8sinθ+7cosθ)2A^2 = (8 \sin \theta + 7 \cos \theta)^2 B2=(sinθ+4cosθ)2B^2 = (\sin \theta + 4 \cos \theta)^2 Expand A2A^2: A2=64sin2θ+49cos2θ+2(8sinθ)(7cosθ)A^2 = 64 \sin^2 \theta + 49 \cos^2 \theta + 2(8 \sin \theta)(7 \cos \theta) A2=64sin2θ+49cos2θ+112sinθcosθA^2 = 64 \sin^2 \theta + 49 \cos^2 \theta + 112 \sin \theta \cos \theta Expand B2B^2: B2=sin2θ+16cos2θ+2(sinθ)(4cosθ)B^2 = \sin^2 \theta + 16 \cos^2 \theta + 2(\sin \theta)(4 \cos \theta) B2=sin2θ+16cos2θ+8sinθcosθB^2 = \sin^2 \theta + 16 \cos^2 \theta + 8 \sin \theta \cos \theta Add A2A^2 and B2B^2: A2+B2=(64sin2θ+49cos2θ+112sinθcosθ)+(sin2θ+16cos2θ+8sinθcosθ)A^2 + B^2 = (64 \sin^2 \theta + 49 \cos^2 \theta + 112 \sin \theta \cos \theta) + (\sin^2 \theta + 16 \cos^2 \theta + 8 \sin \theta \cos \theta) Group like terms: A2+B2=(64+1)sin2θ+(49+16)cos2θ+(112+8)sinθcosθA^2 + B^2 = (64+1) \sin^2 \theta + (49+16) \cos^2 \theta + (112+8) \sin \theta \cos \theta A2+B2=65sin2θ+65cos2θ+120sinθcosθA^2 + B^2 = 65 \sin^2 \theta + 65 \cos^2 \theta + 120 \sin \theta \cos \theta Factor out 6565: A2+B2=65(sin2θ+cos2θ)+120sinθcosθA^2 + B^2 = 65 (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta) + 120 \sin \theta \cos \theta Apply the identity sin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1: A2+B2=65(1)+120sinθcosθA^2 + B^2 = 65(1) + 120 \sin \theta \cos \theta Apply the identity 2sinθcosθ=sin2θ2 \sin \theta \cos \theta = \sin 2\theta: A2+B2=65+60(2sinθcosθ)A^2 + B^2 = 65 + 60 (2 \sin \theta \cos \theta) A2+B2=65+60sin2θA^2 + B^2 = 65 + 60 \sin 2\theta So, α+β=65+60sin2θ\alpha + \beta = 65 + 60 \sin 2\theta.

4. Determine the Maximum (p) and Minimum (q) Values of α+β\alpha + \beta

We have α+β=65+60sin2θ\alpha + \beta = 65 + 60 \sin 2\theta. The range of the sine function is [1,1][-1, 1]. This means 1sin2θ1-1 \le \sin 2\theta \le 1.

To find the maximum value, we use sin2θ=1\sin 2\theta = 1: p=(α+β)max=65+60(1)=65+60=125p = (\alpha + \beta)_{\max} = 65 + 60(1) = 65 + 60 = 125

To find the minimum value, we use sin2θ=1\sin 2\theta = -1: q=(α+β)min=65+60(1)=6560=5q = (\alpha + \beta)_{\min} = 65 + 60(-1) = 65 - 60 = 5

5. Calculate p+qp+q

Finally, we sum the maximum and minimum values found: p+q=125+5=130p+q = 125 + 5 = 130

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Ensure accurate distribution of trigonometric terms when separating real and imaginary parts of complex numbers.
  • Remember the correct formula for multiplying complex numbers: (a+ib)(c+id)=(acbd)+i(ad+bc)(a+ib)(c+id) = (ac-bd) + i(ad+bc).
  • Be fluent with trigonometric identities like sin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1 and 2sinθcosθ=sin2θ2\sin\theta\cos\theta = \sin 2\theta.

Summary

This problem elegantly combines complex number manipulation with trigonometric identities. By expressing the complex numbers in standard form, performing multiplication, simplifying using trigonometric identities, and leveraging the range of the sine function, we determined that p+q=130p+q = 130.

Final Answer

The final answer is 130\boxed{130}, which corresponds to option (A).
