For a complex coordinate transformation, substituting z = x + iy$z = x + iy$ and its conjugate z = x - iy$\overline{z} = x - iy$ maps a complex condition directly into rectangular Cartesian coordinates.
Core Logic
Let's translate the complex set properties into Cartesian geometry:
Set P$P$: |z - (-2 + 3i)| ≤ 1$|z - (-2 + 3i)| \le 1 \implies$ Interior and boundary of a circle with center C(-2, 3)$C(-2, 3)$ and radius r = 1$r = 1$.
Set Q$Q$: (x+iy)(1+i) + (x-iy)(1-i) ≤ -8 (x - y + ix + iy) + (x - y - ix - iy) ≤ -8$(x+iy)(1+i) + (x-iy)(1-i) \le -8 \implies (x - y + ix + iy) + (x - y - ix - iy) \le -8$
2(x - y) ≤ -8 x - y + 4 ≤ 0$$2(x - y) \le -8 \implies x - y + 4 \le 0$$
This defines a half-plane below or to the left of the boundary line L₂: x - y + 4 = 0$L_2: x - y + 4 = 0$.
Step 1: Identify Extreme Points for Distance from Point A
We want to find points in the region P Q$P \cap Q$ that minimize and maximize the distance to the external point A(3, -2)$A(3, -2)$, corresponding to |z - (3 - 2i)|$|z - (3 - 2i)|$.
The line L₁$L_1$ connecting center C(-2, 3)$C(-2, 3)$ and point A(3, -2)$A(3, -2)$ has slope:
Equation of line L₁$L_1$: y - 3 = -1(x + 2) x + y - 1 = 0$y - 3 = -1(x + 2) \implies x + y - 1 = 0$.
The graphic details the intersection region bounded by the circular locus and the line inequality, showing points z1 and z2 relative to external reference point P.
Step 2: Calculate Coordinates for z₁$z_1$ and z₂$z_2$
Minimum Distance Point (z₂$z_2$): By geometric observation, the minimum distance from A$A$ to the bounded region is the intersection point of lines L₁$L_1$ and L₂$L_2$:
x - y + 4 = 0 and x + y - 1 = 0 2x + 3 = 0 x = -(3)/(2), y = (5)/(2)$$x - y + 4 = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x + y - 1 = 0 \implies 2x + 3 = 0 \implies x = -\frac{3}{2}, \, y = \frac{5}{2}$$
So, z₂ = (-(3)/(2), (5)/(2))$z_2 = \left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right)$.
Maximum Distance Point (z₁$z_1$): The maximum distance is at the far boundary edge of the circle along line L₁$L_1$. The vector path from C(-2, 3)$C(-2, 3)$ opposite to A$A$ has unit direction (- 1√(2), 1√(2))$\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$:

Shortcut: Translating complex equations into standard 2D graphs reveals the geometry instantly, mapping extreme distances to line intersections or boundary nodes cleanly.

Solving the quadratic root configurations for x² - √(6)x + 3 = 0$x^2 - \sqrt{6}x + 3 = 0$:
Comparing with the given expression 3ⁿ(a + ib)$3^n(a + ib)$:
n = 49, a = -1, b = 1$$n = 49, \quad a = -1, \quad b = 1$$
Therefore:
n + a + b = 49 - 1 + 1 = 49$$n + a + b = 49 - 1 + 1 = 49$$

Analyze structural equations through modular constraints (e.g., modulo 3 or 4) to limit potential bounds.
Core Logic
Given the equation: x² - 2^y = 2023$x^2 - 2^y = 2023$.
Let us inspect the numbers modulo 8:
2023 ≡ 7 8$$2023 \equiv 7 \pmod 8$$
A perfect square x²$x^2$ can only be congruent to 0, 1, 4 8$0, 1, 4 \pmod 8$.
If y ≥ 3$y \geq 3$, then 2^y ≡ 0 8 x² ≡ 7 8$2^y \equiv 0 \pmod 8 \implies x^2 \equiv 7 \pmod 8$, which is impossible.
Therefore, y$y$ must be less than 3. Since y in N$y \in \mathbb{N}$, the only choices are y = 1$y = 1$ or y = 2$y = 2$.
Exponential Diophantine equations (equations with variables in exponents) are best analyzed using modular arithmetic constraints to quickly find small finite upper bounds.

|z - z₁| = |z - z₂|$$|z - z_1| = |z - z_2|$$
This represents the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points z₁$z_1$ and z₂$z_2$ in the complex plane.
Core Logic
The given set defines a complex number z$z$ that is equidistant from three fixed points:
A ≡ (0, 1)$A \equiv (0, 1)$ corresponding to i$i$B ≡ (0, -1)$B \equiv (0, -1)$ corresponding to -i$-i$C ≡ (1, 0)$C \equiv (1, 0)$ corresponding to 1$1$
The condition |z-i|=|z+i|=|z-1|$|z-i|=|z+i|=|z-1|$ implies that z$z$ is the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle formed by A$A$, B$B$, and C$C$.
Step 1: Finding the Circumcenter
The point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is its circumcenter.
Since A(0,1)$A(0,1)$, B(0,-1)$B(0,-1)$, and C(1,0)$C(1,0)$ form a unique, non-degenerate triangle, they have exactly one unique circumcenter.
Step 2: Final Conclusion
Therefore, there is only one such complex number z$z$ that satisfies the condition.
n(S) = 1$n(S) = 1$
Pattern Recognition
Recognize that |z - z₁| = |z - z₂| = |z - z₃|$|z - z_1| = |z - z_2| = |z - z_3|$ is geometrically identical to finding the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices at z₁$z_1$, z₂$z_2$, and z₃$z_3$. A non-collinear set of three points always yields exactly 1 circumcenter.

ω³ = 1$\omega^3 = 1$
Core Logic
The equation x² + x + 1 = 0$x^2 + x + 1 = 0$ is the standard identity whose roots are the non-real cube roots of unity, ω$\omega$ and ω²$\omega^2$.
Let us assign α = ω$\alpha = \omega$.
We are given the expression (1+α)⁷$(1+\alpha)^7$.
Substituting the root: (1+ω)⁷$(1+\omega)^7$.
Step 1: Simplify using Unity Properties
From the identity 1 + ω + ω² = 0$1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$, we extract:
We compare 1 + α$1 + \alpha$ with A + Bα + Cα²$A + B\alpha + C\alpha^2$.
Notice that 1 + α$1 + \alpha$ can be directly represented without any α²$\alpha^2$ term (and we must keep A, B, C ≥ 0$\ge 0$).
So, A = 1$A = 1$, B = 1$B = 1$, C = 0$C = 0$.
Step 4: Final Output Evaluation
Substitute these constants into the required equation 5(3A - 2B - C)$5(3A - 2B - C)$:
The roots of x²+x+1=0$x^2+x+1=0$ are always ω, ω²$\omega, \omega^2$. Expressions of the form (1+ω)^k$(1+\omega)^k$ rapidly collapse down to single variables via the 1+ω+ω²=0$1+\omega+\omega^2=0$ rule, making multi-variable polynomial equations instantly trivial.
