Abstract: In this paper we consider an extremal problem in geometry. Let $lambda$ be a real number and $A$, $B$ and $C$ be arbitrary points on the unit circle $Gamma$. We give full characterization of the extremal behavior of the function $f(M,lambda)=M{A}^{l}ambda+M{B}^{l}ambda+M{C}^{l}ambda$, where $M$ is a point on the unit circle as well. We also investigate the extremal behavior of $su{m}_{i=1}^{n}X{P}_i$, where $P_i,i=1,\mathrm{...},n$ are the vertices of a regular $n$-gon and $X$ is a point on $Gamma$, concentric to the circle circumscribed around $P_1\mathrm{...}{P}_n$. We use elementary analytic and purely geometric methods in the proof.
