AIME 2011b Problem 8

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let z1,z2,z3,…,z12z_1,z_2,z_3,\dots,z_{12} be the 12 zeroes of the polynomial z12−236z^{12}-2^{36}. For each jj, let wjw_j be one of zjz_j or izji z_j. Then the maximum possible value of the real part of ∑j=112wj\sum_{j=1}^{12} w_j can be written as m+nm+\sqrt{n} where mm and nn are positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
