The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the complex numbers \( z \) that can transform the triangle formed by the vertices \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) into a parallelogram, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of a parallelogram In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This means that the midpoint of one diagonal is the same as the midpoint of the other diagonal. ### Step 2: Identify the midpoints Let’s denote the vertices of the triangle as: - \( A = z_1 \) - \( B = z_2 \) - \( C = z_3 \) We want to find a point \( D \) such that the quadrilateral \( ABCD \) forms a parallelogram. The point \( D \) can be represented by the complex number \( z \). ### Step 3: Set up the midpoint equations The midpoint \( E \) of diagonal \( AC \) is given by: \[ E = \frac{z_1 + z_3}{2} \] The midpoint \( F \) of diagonal \( BD \) is given by: \[ F = \frac{z_2 + z}{2} \] ### Step 4: Set the midpoints equal Since \( E \) and \( F \) must be equal for \( ABCD \) to be a parallelogram, we can set the two expressions for the midpoints equal to each other: \[ \frac{z_1 + z_3}{2} = \frac{z_2 + z}{2} \] ### Step 5: Clear the fractions To eliminate the fractions, multiply both sides by 2: \[ z_1 + z_3 = z_2 + z \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( z \) Rearranging the equation to solve for \( z \): \[ z = z_1 + z_3 - z_2 \] ### Step 7: Consider other configurations The above calculation gives us one configuration. However, we can also consider the other vertices being opposite to \( z \) in the parallelogram. Thus, we can derive two more expressions for \( z \): 1. If \( z_1 \) is opposite \( z \): \[ z = z_2 + z_3 - z_1 \] 2. If \( z_2 \) is opposite \( z \): \[ z = z_1 + z_3 - z_2 \] ### Final Result Thus, the complex numbers \( z \) that can transform the triangle into a parallelogram are: 1. \( z = z_1 + z_3 - z_2 \) 2. \( z = z_2 + z_3 - z_1 \) 3. \( z = z_1 + z_2 - z_3 \)
