To find the minimum value of |z+1|+|z−1|+|z−i| where z∈C. Options:
(A) 2
(B) 2√2
(C) 1+√3
(D) √5
My logic is the sum will be minimum iff z∈C 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...
