The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the condition given and derive the required expression step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Condition Given that \( |z_1 - z_2| = |z_1 - z_3| \), this implies that the point \( z_1 \) is equidistant from \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \). Therefore, the triangle formed by the points \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) is isosceles with \( z_1 \) at the apex. **Hint:** Visualize the triangle in the Argand plane to understand the geometric implications of the given condition. ### Step 2: Use the Rotation Concept We can express the relationship between the complex numbers using the rotation concept. We can write: \[ \frac{z_1 - z_2}{z_3 - z_2} = r e^{i\theta} \] where \( r = \frac{|z_1 - z_2|}{|z_3 - z_2|} = 1 \), since \( |z_1 - z_2| = |z_1 - z_3| \). **Hint:** Recall that the argument of a complex number can be interpreted as the angle it makes with the positive real axis. ### Step 3: Express the Required Argument We need to evaluate: \[ \left| \arg\left( \frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2} \right) \right| \] We can rewrite \( 2z_1 - z_2 - z_3 \) as: \[ 2z_1 - z_2 - z_3 = (z_1 - z_2) + (z_1 - z_3) \] Using our previous result, we can substitute: \[ z_1 - z_2 = re^{i\theta}, \quad z_1 - z_3 = re^{-i\theta} \] **Hint:** Use the properties of complex numbers to simplify the expression. ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Now substituting back, we have: \[ 2z_1 - z_2 - z_3 = re^{i\theta} + re^{-i\theta} = r \left( e^{i\theta} + e^{-i\theta} \right) = 2r \cos(\theta) \] Thus: \[ \frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2} = \frac{2r \cos(\theta)}{z_3 - z_2} \] **Hint:** Remember that \( z_3 - z_2 \) is a complex number whose argument contributes to the overall argument of the fraction. ### Step 5: Determine the Argument Since \( z_3 - z_2 \) is a complex number, the argument of the entire expression can be simplified: \[ \arg\left( \frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2} \right) = \arg(2r \cos(\theta)) + \arg(z_3 - z_2) \] The term \( 2r \cos(\theta) \) is real, and thus its argument is \( 0 \) or \( \pi \) depending on the sign. **Hint:** Consider the nature of the angles involved and how they relate to the isosceles triangle. ### Step 6: Conclusion Since the argument of a real number is either \( 0 \) or \( \pi \), we conclude that: \[ \left| \arg\left( \frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2} \right) \right| = \frac{\pi}{2} \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{\frac{\pi}{2}} \]
