The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the nth roots of unity, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding nth Roots of Unity The nth roots of unity are the complex numbers given by: \[ z_k = e^{2\pi i k/n} \quad \text{for } k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, n-1 \] These roots lie on the unit circle in the complex plane, meaning that their modulus is 1. ### Step 2: Modulus of nth Roots of Unity Since all the roots \( z_1, z_2, \ldots, z_n \) are on the unit circle, we can state: \[ |z_k| = 1 \quad \text{for } k = 1, 2, \ldots, n \] This means that the modulus of each root is equal to 1. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Given Condition The problem states that for \( k = 1, 2, \ldots, n \): \[ |z_k| = |z_{k+1}| \] where \( z_{n+1} \) is understood to wrap around to \( z_1 \) (i.e., \( z_{n+1} = z_1 \)). ### Step 4: Conclusion Since we have established that \( |z_k| = 1 \) for all \( k \), it follows that: \[ |z_k| = |z_{k+1}| = 1 \] Thus, the equality holds true for all \( k \). ### Final Answer The correct conclusion is that for all \( k = 1, 2, \ldots, n \): \[ |z_k| = 1 \]
