Given that is a pure imaginary number (where is the imaginary unit), find the value of .
Solution
Since is a pure imaginary number, we have
From the first equation, we find that . The second part of the condition, , implies that is not equal to .
Now we need to determine the quadrant of the angle . Since the sine of is positive and , we deduce that must be in the second quadrant where cosine is negative. Therefore, .
Using the angle addition formula for sine, we get
Hence, the answer is .
