Let f:DC be defined by:

f(z)=0z(1+ζ5)2/5(1ζ5)4/5dζ

We find that we can simplify this to have factors of the form ω a 5th root of unity, and eπi/5ω a fifth root of 1.

By observing our conditions on the integral, we find that all the fifth roots of 1 lie on some outer circle, and the other roots on some inner circle. We can also calculate the αk. from the above formula. For example the angle at the point ak=ω is 15π. The interior angle at each point ak=eπi/5ω is 75π. We get a picture that looks like the following (blue points are fifth roots of 1, green roots of -1):
