Math Problem Statement
Solution
The equation in the image is given as:
It then asks to determine the value of , using vectors, based on the condition provided.
Analysis:
Given that , the points , , and lie on the unit circle in the complex plane. The condition also implies that the sum of the reciprocals of these numbers also has magnitude 1.
The vector approach could involve representing the complex numbers , , and as unit vectors in the complex plane, interpreting their angles, and using properties of complex numbers to determine the sum .
