The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given for the complex numbers \( a, b, c \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Conditions**: We have three complex numbers \( a, b, c \) such that: \[ |a| = |b| = |c| = 1 \] This means that \( a, b, c \) lie on the unit circle in the complex plane. 2. **Using the Given Equations**: We also know: \[ a + b + c = 1 \] \[ abc = 1 \] 3. **Expressing \( a, b, c \)**: Since \( |a| = |b| = |c| = 1 \), we can express these complex numbers in exponential form: \[ a = e^{i\theta_1}, \quad b = e^{i\theta_2}, \quad c = e^{i\theta_3} \] where \( \theta_1, \theta_2, \theta_3 \) are angles corresponding to points on the unit circle. 4. **Substituting into the Equations**: The equation \( abc = 1 \) implies: \[ e^{i(\theta_1 + \theta_2 + \theta_3)} = 1 \] This means: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 + \theta_3 = 2k\pi \quad \text{for some integer } k \] 5. **Using the Sum Equation**: From \( a + b + c = 1 \), we can rewrite it as: \[ e^{i\theta_1} + e^{i\theta_2} + e^{i\theta_3} = 1 \] 6. **Finding the Roots**: We can consider the polynomial whose roots are \( a, b, c \): \[ P(z) = z^3 - (a+b+c)z^2 + (ab + ac + bc)z - abc \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(z) = z^3 - z^2 + (ab + ac + bc)z - 1 \] 7. **Finding \( ab + ac + bc \)**: From the identity \( |a|^2 + |b|^2 + |c|^2 = 3 \) and \( a + b + c = 1 \), we can derive: \[ ab + ac + bc = \frac{(a+b+c)^2 - (|a|^2 + |b|^2 + |c|^2)}{2} = \frac{1^2 - 3}{2} = -1 \] 8. **Final Polynomial**: Thus, we have: \[ P(z) = z^3 - z^2 - z - 1 = 0 \] 9. **Finding the Roots of the Polynomial**: We can factor this polynomial or use numerical methods to find the roots. The roots are: \[ z = 1, \quad z = i, \quad z = -i \] Therefore, we can assign: \[ a = i, \quad b = -i, \quad c = 1 \] 10. **Conclusion**: The points \( A, B, C \) in the complex plane correspond to the coordinates \( (0, 1), (0, -1), (1, 0) \) respectively. Since two of the points are symmetric about the real axis, triangle \( ABC \) is isosceles.
