The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation involving complex numbers and determine the type of triangle formed by the vertices represented by these complex numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Equation**: We start with the equation: \[ z_2 - z_3 = (1 + i)(z_1 - z_3) \] 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: We can express this in a more useful form: \[ \frac{z_2 - z_3}{z_1 - z_3} = 1 + i \] 3. **Expressing in Polar Form**: To analyze the right side, we convert \(1 + i\) into polar form. We know: \[ 1 + i = \sqrt{2} \left( \cos \frac{\pi}{4} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{4} \right) \] Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{z_2 - z_3}{z_1 - z_3} = \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} \] 4. **Magnitude and Angle**: From the above, we can deduce: - The magnitude: \[ |z_2 - z_3| = \sqrt{2} |z_1 - z_3| \] - The angle: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \] 5. **Setting Distances**: Let \( |z_1 - z_3| = x \). Then: \[ |z_2 - z_3| = \sqrt{2} x \] 6. **Using the Cosine Rule**: To find the distance \( |z_2 - z_1| \), we apply the cosine rule in triangle \( z_1z_2z_3 \): \[ |z_2 - z_1|^2 = |z_1 - z_3|^2 + |z_2 - z_3|^2 - 2 |z_1 - z_3| |z_2 - z_3| \cos \theta \] Substituting the known values: \[ |z_2 - z_1|^2 = x^2 + (\sqrt{2} x)^2 - 2 \cdot x \cdot \sqrt{2} x \cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4} \] \[ = x^2 + 2x^2 - 2 \cdot x \cdot \sqrt{2} x \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] \[ = 3x^2 - 2x^2 = x^2 \] Thus, we find: \[ |z_2 - z_1|^2 = x^2 \] 7. **Conclusion**: Since \( |z_2 - z_1| = |z_1 - z_3| \), we conclude that: - The triangle is isosceles with two sides equal. - Additionally, since the angle opposite the side \( |z_2 - z_1| \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) (due to the angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) and the properties of the triangle), it is also a right triangle. ### Final Answer: The triangle formed by the vertices \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) is a **right-angled isosceles triangle**. ---
