For each natural number k, choose a complex number \(z_k\) , with\( | z_k | = 1 \), and denote \( a_k \) by the area of the triangle formed by \(z_k , i \cdot z_k , z_k + i \cdot z_k \) . Then which of the following is true for the series below: $$ \Sigma (a_k)^k $$
(1) It converges only if every \(z_k\) lies in the same quadrant
(2) It always diverges
(3) It always converges
(4) None of the above
