The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the argument of the expression \(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\), where \(A(z_1)\), \(B(z_2)\), and \(C(z_3)\) are the vertices of an equilateral triangle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - Let \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) be the vertices of the equilateral triangle in the complex plane, represented by the complex numbers \(z_1\), \(z_2\), and \(z_3\) respectively. 2. **Finding the Midpoint**: - The midpoint \(D\) of segment \(BC\) can be calculated as: \[ D = \frac{z_2 + z_3}{2} \] 3. **Using the Property of Equilateral Triangles**: - In an equilateral triangle, the line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is perpendicular to that side. Therefore, the line \(AD\) is perpendicular to line \(BC\). 4. **Setting Up the Argument**: - Since \(AD\) is perpendicular to \(BC\), we can express this relationship in terms of arguments: \[ \text{arg}(z_1 - D) - \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) = \frac{\pi}{2} \] - This implies: \[ \text{arg}(z_1 - \frac{z_2 + z_3}{2}) = \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) + \frac{\pi}{2} \] 5. **Rearranging the Expression**: - We can rewrite \(z_1\) in terms of \(z_2\) and \(z_3\): \[ z_1 = D + r \cdot e^{i\theta} \] - Here, \(r\) is the distance from \(D\) to \(A\) and \(\theta\) is the angle corresponding to the position of \(A\) relative to \(D\). 6. **Calculating the Argument**: - Now substituting \(D\) back into the expression: \[ \text{arg}\left(2z_1 - z_2 - z_3\right) = \text{arg}\left(2\left(\frac{z_2 + z_3}{2} + r \cdot e^{i\theta}\right) - z_2 - z_3\right) \] - Simplifying gives: \[ \text{arg}(2r \cdot e^{i\theta}) = \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) + \frac{\pi}{2} \] 7. **Final Result**: - Therefore, we conclude that: \[ \text{arg}\left(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \text{arg}\left(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2} \]
