AIME 2014a Problem 7

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let ww and zz be complex numbers such that ∣w∣=1|w| = 1 and ∣z∣=10|z| = 10. Let θ=arg⁡(w−zz)\theta = \arg \left(\tfrac{w-z}{z}\right). The maximum possible value of tan⁡2θ\tan^2 \theta can be written as pq\tfrac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q. (Note that arg⁡(w)\arg(w), for w≠0w \neq 0, denotes the measure of the angle that the ray from 00 to ww makes with the positive real axis in the complex plane)
