Let z₁, z₂, , z₇ be the vertices of a regular heptagon that is inscribed in the unit circle with centre at the origin in the complex plane. Let w = _ 1 i < j 7 z _ i z _ j , then | w | is equal to
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
given expression can be written as (z₁+z₂+ +z₇ )²- _ i=1 ⁷ z_ i ² 2 = _ 1 i < j -7 z_ i z_ j Sum of all seven root of unity =0 (By property) z₁²+z₂²+z₃²+ .+z₇²=0 (By property)
