The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given conditions and use properties of complex numbers. ### Step 1: Understanding the roots of the quadratic equation We have the quadratic equation: \[ az^2 + bz + c = 0 \] with roots \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \). According to Vieta's formulas, the sum and product of the roots can be expressed as: \[ z_1 + z_2 = -\frac{b}{a} \] \[ z_1 z_2 = \frac{c}{a} \] ### Step 2: Applying the modulus condition Given that \( |a| = |b| = |c| = 1 \), we can conclude: \[ |z_1 + z_2| = \left| -\frac{b}{a} \right| = 1 \] \[ |z_1 z_2| = \left| \frac{c}{a} \right| = 1 \] ### Step 3: Using the modulus of the roots Since \( |z_1| = 1 \) and \( |z_2| = 1 \), we can write: \[ |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| = 1 + 1 = 2 \] However, we know from the problem statement that \( |z_1 + z_2| = 1 \). This leads us to conclude that \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) must be positioned such that they form a specific angle in the Argand plane. ### Step 4: Squaring the sum of the roots We can square the modulus condition: \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = 1 \] Expanding this gives: \[ |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 + 2 \text{Re}(z_1 \overline{z_2}) = 1 \] Since \( |z_1| = |z_2| = 1 \), we have: \[ 1 + 1 + 2 \text{Re}(z_1 \overline{z_2}) = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 + 2 \text{Re}(z_1 \overline{z_2}) = 1 \] Thus: \[ \text{Re}(z_1 \overline{z_2}) = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Relating the angle Since \( z_2 = z_1 e^{i\theta} \), we can express the real part: \[ \text{Re}(z_1 \overline{z_2}) = \text{Re}(z_1 \cdot z_1^{-1} e^{-i\theta}) = \text{Re}(e^{-i\theta}) = \cos(\theta) \] Thus, we have: \[ \cos(\theta) = -\frac{1}{2} \] This implies: \[ \theta = \frac{2\pi}{3} \text{ or } \theta = \frac{4\pi}{3} \] Since \( \theta < 180^\circ \), we take: \[ \theta = \frac{2\pi}{3} \] ### Step 6: Finding the value of \( pq \) To find \( pq \), we need to calculate \( |z_1 - z_2| \): \[ |z_1 - z_2| = |z_1 - z_1 e^{i\theta}| = |z_1(1 - e^{i\theta})| = |1 - e^{i\theta}| \] Using the formula for the modulus of a complex number: \[ |1 - e^{i\theta}| = \sqrt{(1 - \cos(\theta))^2 + \sin^2(\theta)} \] Substituting \( \cos(\theta) = -\frac{1}{2} \) and \( \sin(\theta) = \sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \): \[ |1 - e^{i\theta}| = \sqrt{\left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} + \frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt{3} \] ### Final Result Thus, the value of \( pq \) is: \[ pq = \sqrt{3} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given conditions and use properties of complex numbers. ### Step 1: Understanding the roots of the quadratic equation We have the quadratic equation: \[ az^2 + bz + c = 0 \] with roots \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \).
