Let cc be a real number, and let z1z_1 and z2z_2 be the two complex numbers satisfying the equation z2cz+10=0z^2 - cz + 10 = 0. Points z1z_1, z2z_2, 1z1\frac{1}{z_1}, and 1z2\frac{1}{z_2} are the vertices of (convex) quadrilateral Q\mathcal{Q} in the complex plane. When the area of Q\mathcal{Q} obtains its maximum possible value, let c=mc=\sqrt{m}. what is the value of m
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)

Let $c$ be a real number, and let $z_1$ and $z_2$ be the two complex numbers satisfying the equation
$z^2 - cz + 10 = 0$. Points $z_1$, $z_2$, $\frac{1}{z_1}$, and $\frac{1}{z_2}$ are the vertices of (convex) quadrilateral $\mathcal{Q}$ in the complex plane. When the area of $\mathcal{Q}$ obtains its maximum possible value, let $c=\sqrt{m}$. what is the value of m
