Complex with Geometry

Algebra Level 5

Consider the circle z 5 i = 3 |z-5i| = 3 , and two points z 1 , z 2 z_1 , z_2 on it such that z 1 < z 2 |z_1|<|z_2| , arg ( z 1 ) = arg ( z 2 ) = π 3 \text{arg}(z_1) = \text{arg}(z_2) = \frac{\pi}{3} . A tangent is drawn at z 2 z_2 to the circle, which cuts the real axis at z 3 z_3 . What is the magnitude of z 3 z_3 ?

Give your answer correct to three decimal places.


The answer is 3.317.
