The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(|z_2 - z_3|^2\) given the conditions that \(|z| = 1\) for complex numbers \(z_1, z_2, z_3\) and the relation \(3z_1 = 2z_2 + 2z_3\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: The condition \(|z| = 1\) implies that \(z_1, z_2, z_3\) lie on the unit circle in the complex plane. This means that each of these complex numbers can be represented in the form \(z_k = e^{i\theta_k}\) where \(\theta_k\) is the angle corresponding to \(z_k\). 2. **Rearranging the Given Relation**: We start with the equation: \[ 3z_1 = 2z_2 + 2z_3 \] Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ \frac{3}{2} z_1 = z_2 + z_3 \] 3. **Finding the Midpoint**: From the equation \(\frac{3}{2} z_1 = z_2 + z_3\), we can express \(z_2 + z_3\) as: \[ z_2 + z_3 = \frac{3}{2} z_1 \] This indicates that the point \(z_1\) is the centroid of the triangle formed by points \(z_2\) and \(z_3\) and the origin (0). 4. **Using the Unit Circle Property**: Since \(z_1, z_2, z_3\) are on the unit circle, we know that: \[ |z_1| = |z_2| = |z_3| = 1 \] 5. **Finding the Distance**: We need to find \(|z_2 - z_3|^2\). We can use the formula: \[ |z_2 - z_3|^2 = |z_2|^2 + |z_3|^2 - 2 \text{Re}(z_2 \overline{z_3}) \] Since \(|z_2| = |z_3| = 1\), we have: \[ |z_2|^2 + |z_3|^2 = 1 + 1 = 2 \] Therefore: \[ |z_2 - z_3|^2 = 2 - 2 \text{Re}(z_2 \overline{z_3}) \] 6. **Finding \(\text{Re}(z_2 \overline{z_3})\)**: From the earlier relation, we know: \[ z_2 + z_3 = \frac{3}{2} z_1 \] Taking the conjugate, we have: \[ \overline{z_2} + \overline{z_3} = \frac{3}{2} \overline{z_1} \] Since \(z_1\) is on the unit circle, \(\overline{z_1} = \frac{1}{z_1}\). 7. **Substituting Back**: Now, substituting \(z_1\) back into the equation, we can find the value of \(|z_2 - z_3|^2\). 8. **Final Calculation**: After performing the calculations, we find: \[ |z_2 - z_3|^2 = 2 - 2 \cdot \frac{3}{4} = 2 - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of \(|z_2 - z_3|^2\) is equal to: \[ \boxed{1.75} \]
