Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 June 2025, Question 6 5 marks
f (z) = z3 + az2 + bz + c where a, b and c are real constants
The roots of the equation f (z) = 0 are z1, z2 and z3
When plotted on an Argand diagram, the points representing these roots form the vertices of a triangle.
Given that
• z1 2
4i
• the area of the triangle is 12
Determine the two possible functions f (z)
