The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( |z_2 - z_3|^2 \) given the conditions that \( |z| = 1 \) and \( 3z_1 = 2z_2 + 2z_3 \). ### Step-by-step solution: 1. **Understanding the given conditions**: - We know that \( |z_1| = |z_2| = |z_3| = 1 \). This means that the complex numbers \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) lie on the unit circle in the complex plane. 2. **Rearranging the equation**: - From the equation \( 3z_1 = 2z_2 + 2z_3 \), we can rearrange it to find a relationship between \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \): \[ 3z_1 = 2(z_2 + z_3) \implies z_2 + z_3 = \frac{3}{2} z_1 \] 3. **Finding the midpoint**: - The equation \( z_2 + z_3 = \frac{3}{2} z_1 \) suggests that \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \) are symmetrically located around the point \( \frac{3}{4} z_1 \) on the unit circle. We can express \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \) in terms of their midpoint \( p \): \[ z_2 + z_3 = 2p \quad \text{where } p = \frac{3}{4} z_1 \] 4. **Expressing \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \)**: - Let \( z_2 = p + d \) and \( z_3 = p - d \) for some complex number \( d \). Then: \[ z_2 - z_3 = (p + d) - (p - d) = 2d \] 5. **Calculating \( |z_2 - z_3|^2 \)**: - We need to find \( |z_2 - z_3|^2 \): \[ |z_2 - z_3|^2 = |2d|^2 = 4|d|^2 \] 6. **Finding \( |d| \)**: - Since \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) lie on the unit circle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find \( |d| \). The distance from the origin to \( p \) is: \[ |p| = \left|\frac{3}{4} z_1\right| = \frac{3}{4} \] - The distance from the origin to \( z_2 \) and \( z_3 \) is 1. Thus, we can set up the equation: \[ |z_2|^2 = |p + d|^2 = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad |z_3|^2 = |p - d|^2 = 1 \] 7. **Using the distance formula**: - Expanding \( |p + d|^2 \): \[ |p + d|^2 = |p|^2 + |d|^2 + 2 \text{Re}(p \overline{d}) = 1 \] - Since \( |p|^2 = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{16} \): \[ \frac{9}{16} + |d|^2 + 2 \text{Re}(p \overline{d}) = 1 \] - This leads to: \[ |d|^2 + 2 \text{Re}(p \overline{d}) = 1 - \frac{9}{16} = \frac{7}{16} \] 8. **Finding \( |d|^2 \)**: - Since \( p \) is a point on the unit circle, and \( d \) is the distance from the midpoint to either \( z_2 \) or \( z_3 \), we can conclude that \( |d|^2 = \frac{7}{16} \). 9. **Final calculation**: - Thus, substituting back: \[ |z_2 - z_3|^2 = 4|d|^2 = 4 \cdot \frac{7}{16} = \frac{7}{4} \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( |z_2 - z_3|^2 \) is \( \frac{7}{4} \).
