Upon observation, I m ( z ) = i in order to satisfy ∣ z ∣ being a real number. The real part, a = R e ( z ) , can be computed per:
∣ a + i ∣ = a 2 + 1 = 1 + ( a + i ) − i ⇒ a 2 + 1 = a 2 + 2 a + 1 ⇒ 0 = 2 a ⇒ a = 0
so that z = i . The above geometric series finally yields:
Σ k = 1 2 0 z k = 1 − z z ( 1 − z 2 0 ) = 1 − i ( i ) ( 1 − ( i 4 ) 5 ) = 1 − i ( i ) ( 1 − 1 5 ) = 0 .
