The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation involving the complex numbers \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \): ### Step 1: Write down the given equation We have: \[ z_1 + \omega z_2 + \omega^2 z_3 = 0 \] where \( \omega \) is a primitive cube root of unity, satisfying \( 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \). ### Step 2: Substitute \( \omega^2 \) From the property of cube roots of unity, we can express \( \omega^2 \) in terms of \( \omega \): \[ \omega^2 = -1 - \omega \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ z_1 + \omega z_2 - (1 + \omega) z_3 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ z_1 + \omega z_2 - z_3 - \omega z_3 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the terms, we have: \[ z_1 - z_3 = -\omega z_2 + \omega z_3 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ z_1 - z_3 = \omega(z_3 - z_2) \] ### Step 4: Analyze the equation This equation shows that the vector from \( z_3 \) to \( z_1 \) is equal to \( \omega \) times the vector from \( z_2 \) to \( z_3 \). Since \( \omega = e^{i\pi/3} \), it represents a rotation of \( 60^\circ \) in the complex plane. ### Step 5: Conclude about the triangle The fact that \( z_1 - z_3 \) is a rotation of \( z_3 - z_2 \) implies that the points \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) form an equilateral triangle in the Argand plane. ### Final Conclusion Thus, we conclude that triangle \( ABC \) is an equilateral triangle.
