  • Answer

Given that ww and zz are complex numbers such that ∣w+z∣=1|w+z|=1 and ∣w2+z2∣=14\left|w^{2}+z^{2}\right|=14, find the smallest possible value of ∣w3+z3∣\left|w^{3}+z^{3}\right|. Here, ∣⋅∣|\cdot| denotes the absolute value of a complex number, given by ∣a+bi∣=a2+b2|a+b i|=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}} whenever aa and bb are real numbers.
