Correct answer: 6

  1. Let a complex number be written as z=x+iyz=x+iyz=x+iy where x=Re⁡(z)x=\operatorname{Re}(z)x=Re(z) and y=Im⁡(z)y=\operatorname{Im}(z)y=Im(z).

  2. Given that z1,z2z_1,z_2z1​,z2​ satisfy ∣z−3∣=Re⁡(z).|z-3|=\operatorname{Re}(z).∣z−3∣=Re(z). Substitute z=x+iyz=x+iyz=x+iy: ∣x+iy−3∣=x|x+iy-3|=x∣x+iy−3∣=x (x−3)2+y2=x.\sqrt{(x-3)^2+y^2}=x.(x−3)2+y2​=x.

  3. Since modulus is non-negative, we must have x≥0x\ge 0x≥0. Squaring both sides: (x−3)2+y2=x2.(x-3)^2+y^2=x^2.(x−3)2+y2=x2. Expand: x2−6x+9+y2=x2x^2-6x+9+y^2=x^2x2−6x+9+y2=x2 y2−6x+9=0y^2-6x+9=0y2−6x+9=0 6x=y2+96x=y^2+96x=y2+9 x=y2+96.x=\frac{y^2+9}{6}.x=6y2+9​.

    This is a parabola.

  4. The two complex numbers z1,z2z_1,z_2z1​,z2​ lie on this parabola, and arg⁡(z1−z2)=π4.\arg(z_1-z_2)=\frac{\pi}{4}.arg(z1​−z2​)=4π​. This means the vector from z2z_2z2​ to z1z_1z1​ has slope tan⁡π4=1.\tan\frac{\pi}{4}=1.tan4π​=1. Hence the line joining the two points has slope 111.

  5. Let z1=x1+iy1,z2=x2+iy2z_1=x_1+iy_1,\qquad z_2=x_2+iy_2z1​=x1​+iy1​,z2​=x2​+iy2​ with xi=yi2+96(i=1,2).x_i=\frac{y_i^2+9}{6} \quad (i=1,2).xi​=6yi2​+9​(i=1,2). Since the slope of the chord is 111, y1−y2x1−x2=1\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}=1x1​−x2​y1​−y2​​=1 so y1−y2=x1−x2.y_1-y_2=x_1-x_2.y1​−y2​=x1​−x2​.

  6. Now compute x1−x2x_1-x_2x1​−x2​ using the parabola equation: x1−x2=y12−y226=(y1−y2)(y1+y2)6.x_1-x_2=\frac{y_1^2-y_2^2}{6}=\frac{(y_1-y_2)(y_1+y_2)}{6}.x1​−x2​=6y12​−y22​​=6(y1​−y2​)(y1​+y2​)​. Therefore, y1−y2=(y1−y2)(y1+y2)6.y_1-y_2=\frac{(y_1-y_2)(y_1+y_2)}{6}.y1​−y2​=6(y1​−y2​)(y1​+y2​)​.

  7. Since z1z_1z1​ and z2z_2z2​ are two distinct complex numbers, y1−y2≠0y_1-y_2\ne 0y1​−y2​=0. So divide by (y1−y2)(y_1-y_2)(y1​−y2​): 1=y1+y26.1=\frac{y_1+y_2}{6}.1=6y1​+y2​​. Hence y1+y2=6.y_1+y_2=6.y1​+y2​=6.

  8. The imaginary part of z1+z2z_1+z_2z1​+z2​ is Im⁡(z1+z2)=y1+y2=6.\operatorname{Im}(z_1+z_2)=y_1+y_2=6.Im(z1​+z2​)=y1​+y2​=6.

Therefore, the required integer is 6.\boxed{6}.6​.
