Q81.Let z1, z2 be the roots of the equation z2 + az + 12 = 0 and z1, z2 form an equilateral triangle with origin. Then, the value of |a| is

What This Question Tests

This question combines the concepts of roots of a quadratic equation with the geometric condition for three complex numbers (including the origin) to form an equilateral triangle, requiring algebraic manipulation of complex numbers.

Concepts Tested

Roots of quadratic equationGeometric representation of complex numbersEquilateral triangle condition in complex planeProperties of modulus of complex numbers

Formulas Used

z₁² + z₂² + z₁z₂ = 0 (for origin, z₁, z₂ forming equilateral triangle)

z₁ + z₂ = -a

z₁z₂ = 12
