The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will verify the condition for the vertices \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) of an equilateral triangle occurring in the anti-clockwise sense. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: Let \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) be the vertices of the equilateral triangle. We can represent these points in the complex plane. 2. **Defining the Vectors**: The vectors representing the sides of the triangle can be defined as: - \( \overrightarrow{AB} = z_2 - z_1 \) - \( \overrightarrow{BC} = z_3 - z_2 \) - \( \overrightarrow{CA} = z_1 - z_3 \) 3. **Rotation of Vectors**: In an equilateral triangle, the angle between any two sides is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) radians (or 60 degrees). Therefore, we can express the relationship between the vectors: \[ \frac{z_3 - z_2}{|z_3 - z_2|} = e^{i \frac{\pi}{3}} \cdot \frac{z_2 - z_1}{|z_2 - z_1|} \] This means that the vector \( z_3 - z_2 \) is a rotation of the vector \( z_2 - z_1 \) by \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). 4. **Using the Exponential Form**: Using Euler's formula, we can write: \[ e^{i \frac{\pi}{3}} = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) + i \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 5. **Setting Up the Equation**: From the above relationship, we have: \[ z_3 - z_2 = e^{i \frac{\pi}{3}} (z_2 - z_1) \] Substituting the value of \( e^{i \frac{\pi}{3}} \): \[ z_3 - z_2 = \left(\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)(z_2 - z_1) \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ z_3 - z_2 = \frac{1}{2}(z_2 - z_1) + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(z_2 - z_1) \] 7. **Finding the Relationship**: We can express this relationship in terms of \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \): \[ z_1 + \omega z_2 + \omega^2 z_3 = 0 \] where \( \omega = e^{i \frac{2\pi}{3}} \) is a primitive cube root of unity. 8. **Conclusion**: Thus, we conclude that: \[ z_1 + \omega z_2 + \omega^2 z_3 = 0 \] This confirms that the vertices of the equilateral triangle satisfy the given condition.
