AIME 1999 Problem 9

  • Paper
  • Answer

A function ff is defined on the complex numbers by f(z)=(a+bi)z,f(z)=(a+bi)z, where aa_{} and bb_{} are positive numbers. This function has the property that the image of each point in the complex plane is equidistant from that point and the origin. Given that ∣a+bi∣=8|a+bi|=8 and that b2=m/n,b^2=m/n, where mm_{} and nn_{} are relatively prime positive integers, find m+n.m+n.
