calculus - To find the minimum value of |z+1|+|z1|+|zi| where zinBbbC.

To find the minimum value of |z+1|+|z1|+|zi| where zC. Options:



(A) 2



(B) 22



(C) 1+3




(D) 5



My logic is the sum will be minimum iff zC is any one of the three fixed points 1,1,i. And by calculation we see that the sum is min when take z=i.Is the solution correct?



Know that its not a good solution to the problem....searching for an elegant one...Suggestion reqd..



One can apply Fermat-Torricelli point as given in solution below by Quang Hoang and it is a good solution to the problem geometrically.....but this can be applied only if I know the result...searching a solution of this from known basic results of analysis...
