The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation involving the complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \): \[ z_1^2 - 2z_1 z_2 + 2z_2^2 = 0 \] ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation We can rearrange the equation to isolate the terms involving \( z_1 \): \[ z_1^2 - 2z_1 z_2 + 2z_2^2 = 0 \] This can be treated as a quadratic equation in \( z_1 \). ### Step 2: Using the Quadratic Formula The quadratic formula states that for an equation of the form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), the solutions for \( x \) are given by: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] In our case, \( a = 1 \), \( b = -2z_2 \), and \( c = 2z_2^2 \). Plugging these values into the quadratic formula gives: \[ z_1 = \frac{2z_2 \pm \sqrt{(-2z_2)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2z_2^2}}{2 \cdot 1} \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the Discriminant Now we simplify the discriminant: \[ (-2z_2)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2z_2^2 = 4z_2^2 - 8z_2^2 = -4z_2^2 \] ### Step 4: Finding the Roots Substituting back into the quadratic formula, we have: \[ z_1 = \frac{2z_2 \pm \sqrt{-4z_2^2}}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ z_1 = \frac{2z_2 \pm 2i z_2}{2} = z_2(1 \pm i) \] ### Step 5: Relation Between \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) Thus, we find that: \[ z_1 = z_2(1 + i) \quad \text{or} \quad z_1 = z_2(1 - i) \] ### Step 6: Analyzing the Triangle OAB Now, we need to analyze the triangle formed by the points \( O \) (origin), \( A \) (point represented by \( z_1 \)), and \( B \) (point represented by \( z_2 \)). 1. **Coordinates of Points**: - \( O(0, 0) \) - \( A(z_2(1 + i)) = (z_2, z_2) \) - \( B(z_2) = (z_2, 0) \) 2. **Calculating Distances**: - The distance \( OA = |z_1| = |z_2| \sqrt{2} \) (since \( |1 + i| = \sqrt{2} \)) - The distance \( OB = |z_2| \) - The distance \( AB = |z_1 - z_2| = |z_2(1 + i) - z_2| = |z_2 i| = |z_2| \) ### Step 7: Conclusion Since \( OA = |z_2| \sqrt{2} \) and \( OB = |z_2| \), we see that \( OA \) is longer than \( OB \), and the triangle formed is a right-angled triangle with \( O \) as the right angle. ### Final Answer Thus, the triangle OAB is a **right-angled triangle**. ---
