What is the value of \left|\frac{Z_{1}}{Z_{2}}\right|?

Direction: Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow :<br>Let Z_{1} and Z_{2} be any two complex numbers such that Z_{1}^{2}+Z_{2}^{2}+Z_{1}Z_{2}=0.

  1. A. 1
  2. B. 2
  3. C. 3
  4. D. 4

Correct Answer: A. 1

Explanation

Dividing the given equation by Z_2^2 yields (Z_1/Z_2)^2 + (Z_1/Z_2) + 1 = 0. The roots of this equation are the non-real cube roots of unity, \omega and \omega^2. The modulus of both \omega and \omega^2 is 1. Therefore, |Z_1/Z_2| = 1.
