The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given condition and determine the nature of triangle OAB formed by points A and B in the Argand plane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Condition**: We start with the equation given in the problem: \[ z_1^2 + z_2^2 + z_1 z_2 = 0 \] 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: We can rearrange the equation as follows: \[ z_1^2 + z_1 z_2 + z_2^2 = 0 \] This can be factored as: \[ (z_1 + z_2)(z_1 + \omega z_2) = 0 \] where \(\omega\) is a cube root of unity, specifically \(\omega = e^{i \frac{2\pi}{3}}\). 3. **Finding Relationships Between \(z_1\) and \(z_2\)**: From the factored form, we can derive: \[ z_1 = -z_2 \quad \text{or} \quad z_1 = -\omega z_2 \] This indicates that \(z_1\) can be expressed in terms of \(z_2\) with a rotation. 4. **Expressing \(z_1\) in Polar Form**: The relationship \(z_1 = -\omega z_2\) can be expressed as: \[ z_1 = e^{i \frac{2\pi}{3}} z_2 \] This shows that \(z_1\) is obtained by rotating \(z_2\) by an angle of \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\) radians (or 120 degrees) in the counterclockwise direction. 5. **Analyzing the Triangle OAB**: - The points O (origin), A (\(z_1\)), and B (\(z_2\)) form triangle OAB. - The length OA is equal to OB because both points are at the same distance from the origin (since they are related by a rotation). 6. **Determining the Type of Triangle**: - Since OA = OB and the angle between them (angle AOB) is \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\), triangle OAB is an isosceles triangle. - The angle AOB is not 90 degrees, confirming that it is not a right triangle. ### Conclusion: Thus, triangle OAB is an **isosceles triangle**.
