Correct answer: 4
- Interpret the complex numbers
Given
So each lies on the unit circle.
- Use the distance formula on the unit circle
For we have
This will be used repeatedly.
- Evaluate the numerator
The numerator is
Now Their arguments differ by
Hence each term is the same:
There are such terms, so
- Evaluate the denominator
The denominator is
For each , Again, the difference in arguments is
So each term is again
There are such terms, hence
- Compute the ratio
Therefore,
=\frac{24\sin(\pi/14)}{6\sin(\pi/14)}=4.$$ --- 6. **Final answer** The required integer is $$\boxed{4}.$$ --- 7. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: $4$ My derived answer is also $4$, so they agree.More from Complex Numbers
