The Convex Hull Of A Set Of Roots

Algebra Level 5

Let F F denote the set of all monic polynomials f ( x ) f(x) with complex coefficients, such that the distance between any two distinct complex roots of [ f ( x ) ] 2 f ( x ) [f(x)]^2-f(x) is at least 1 1 .

For each polynomial f f in F F , let S f S_f be the convex hull of the roots of [ f ( x ) ] 2 f ( x ) . [f(x)]^2-f(x). To 2 decimal places, what is the product of the largest and the smallest possible (positive) area of S f S_f ?


The answer is 2.25.
