Correct answer
6

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

z2=z¯·21-z     1

On taking modulus both side we get,

z2=z·21-z

z=21-z,   b0z0

So comparing both side we get z=1    2

Now putting z=a+ib then a2+b2=1    3

Now again from equation 1, equation 2, equation 3 we get:

a2-b2+i2ab=a-ib20=a-ib

Now on comaparing imagenary and real part we get,

 a2-b2=a and 2ab=-b

Now solving we get, a=-12 and b=±32

So, z=-12+32i or =-12-32i

Now solving zn=z+1nz+1zn=1

1+1zn=1

1+3i2n=1

-ω2n=1, then minimum value of n is 6
