The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the other two vertices \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \) of the equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle \( |z| = 2 \) given that \( z_1 = 1 + i\sqrt{3} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Radius and Center of the Circle:** The circle is given by \( |z| = 2 \), which means the radius \( r = 2 \) and the center is at the origin \( (0, 0) \). 2. **Convert \( z_1 \) to Polar Form:** We can express \( z_1 \) in polar form. The modulus of \( z_1 \) is: \[ |z_1| = \sqrt{1^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] The argument \( \theta_1 \) of \( z_1 \) is: \[ \theta_1 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3} \] Thus, in polar form: \[ z_1 = 2 \left( \cos\frac{\pi}{3} + i\sin\frac{\pi}{3} \right) \] 3. **Find \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \) Using Rotations:** Since \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \) are vertices of the equilateral triangle, they can be found by rotating \( z_1 \) by \( 120^\circ \) and \( 240^\circ \) respectively. - **Finding \( z_2 \):** \[ \theta_2 = \theta_1 + \frac{2\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{2\pi}{3} = \pi \] Thus, \[ z_2 = 2 \left( \cos \pi + i \sin \pi \right) = 2(-1 + 0i) = -2 \] - **Finding \( z_3 \):** \[ \theta_3 = \theta_1 + \frac{4\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{4\pi}{3} = \frac{5\pi}{3} \] Thus, \[ z_3 = 2 \left( \cos \frac{5\pi}{3} + i \sin \frac{5\pi}{3} \right) \] We know that: \[ \cos \frac{5\pi}{3} = \cos\left(2\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ \sin \frac{5\pi}{3} = \sin\left(2\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = -\sin \frac{\pi}{3} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Therefore, \[ z_3 = 2 \left( \frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = 1 - i\sqrt{3} \] 4. **Final Results:** The vertices of the equilateral triangle are: \[ z_1 = 1 + i\sqrt{3}, \quad z_2 = -2, \quad z_3 = 1 - i\sqrt{3} \] ### Summary: Thus, we find: - \( z_2 = -2 \) - \( z_3 = 1 - i\sqrt{3} \)
