Complex Numbers Problem Solution Attempt

Click For Summary
The problem involves three complex numbers Z1, Z2, and Z3 that satisfy the equations Z1 + Z2 + Z3 = 0 and Z1*Z2 + Z2*Z3 + Z3*Z1 = 0. The goal is to find the value of (|Z1| + |Z2| + |Z3|) / (|Z1*Z2| + |Z2*Z3| + |Z3*Z1|). Attempts to solve the problem by multiplying the equations by the product of all conjugates have not yielded results. Participants emphasize the need to show work for better assistance and question whether additional information about the complex numbers is required, such as their geometric representation. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in problem-solving approaches.

Homework Statement


If Z1+Z2+Z3=0 and Z1*Z2 + Z2*Z3 + Z3*Z1=0 and Z1, Z2, Z3 are all complex, what is the value of
(|z1|+|z2|+|z3|)/(|z1*z2|+|z2*z3|+|z3*z1|)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to multiply the equations by the product of all conjugates and reach some equations but it lead to nothing in the end.[/B]

Is this the whole problem or is there some more info about z1, z2 and z3 like being the vertices of some figure?

Also you need to show your work before we can help.
