The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the points A, B, and C represented by the complex numbers \( z_1, z_2, (1-i)z_1 + iz_2 \) respectively. We will find the lengths of the sides of triangle ABC and determine its properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - Let \( A = z_1 \) - Let \( B = z_2 \) - Let \( C = (1 - i)z_1 + iz_2 \) 2. **Calculate the Lengths of the Sides**: - **Length \( AB \)**: \[ AB = |z_1 - z_2| \] - **Length \( BC \)**: \[ BC = |C - B| = |(1 - i)z_1 + iz_2 - z_2| = |(1 - i)z_1 + (i - 1)z_2| \] Simplifying this: \[ BC = |(1 - i)z_1 - (1 - i)z_2| = |(1 - i)(z_1 - z_2)| = |1 - i| \cdot |z_1 - z_2| = \sqrt{2} |z_1 - z_2| \] - **Length \( CA \)**: \[ CA = |C - A| = |(1 - i)z_1 + iz_2 - z_1| = |(-i)z_1 + iz_2| = |i(z_2 - z_1)| = |z_2 - z_1| = |z_1 - z_2| \] 3. **Summarize the Lengths**: - We have: \[ AB = |z_1 - z_2| \] \[ BC = \sqrt{2} |z_1 - z_2| \] \[ CA = |z_1 - z_2| \] 4. **Analyze the Triangle**: - From the lengths, we see that \( AB = CA \) and \( BC = \sqrt{2} AB \). - Since \( AB = CA \), triangle ABC is isosceles. - To check if it is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AB^2 + CA^2 = BC^2 \] \[ |z_1 - z_2|^2 + |z_1 - z_2|^2 = (\sqrt{2}|z_1 - z_2|)^2 \] \[ 2|z_1 - z_2|^2 = 2|z_1 - z_2|^2 \] - This confirms that triangle ABC is also a right triangle. ### Conclusion: Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle.
