The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the argument of the expression \(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\) where \(A(z_1)\), \(B(z_2)\), and \(C(z_3)\) are the vertices of an equilateral triangle. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - Let \(z_1\), \(z_2\), and \(z_3\) represent the complex numbers corresponding to the vertices \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) of the equilateral triangle. The angles between the sides of the triangle are \(60^\circ\) or \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) radians. 2. **Rearranging the Expression**: - We need to simplify the expression \(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\). 3. **Expressing \(z_1\) in terms of \(z_2\) and \(z_3\)**: - We can express \(z_1\) as a rotation of \(z_2\) and \(z_3\). Since \(z_1\) is at an angle of \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) from the line segment \(z_2z_3\), we can write: \[ z_1 - z_2 = |z_1 - z_2| e^{i\frac{\pi}{3}} \] \[ z_1 - z_3 = |z_1 - z_3| e^{-i\frac{\pi}{3}} \] 4. **Substituting into the Expression**: - Substitute \(z_1 - z_2\) and \(z_1 - z_3\) into the expression: \[ 2z_1 - z_2 - z_3 = 2(z_2 + |z_1 - z_2| e^{i\frac{\pi}{3}}) - z_2 - (z_2 + |z_1 - z_3| e^{-i\frac{\pi}{3}}) \] - This simplifies to: \[ |z_1 - z_2| e^{i\frac{\pi}{3}} - |z_1 - z_3| e^{-i\frac{\pi}{3}} \] 5. **Calculating the Argument**: - The expression \(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\) can be simplified further. We can factor out \(z_3 - z_2\) from the numerator: \[ \frac{(z_3 - z_2)(\text{some complex number})}{z_3 - z_2} \] - This leads to: \[ \text{arg}\left(2z_1 - z_2 - z_3\right) - \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) \] 6. **Final Argument Calculation**: - The argument of \(z_3 - z_2\) is simply the angle of the line segment from \(z_2\) to \(z_3\). - The argument of \(2z_1 - z_2 - z_3\) can be calculated based on the angles involved. Since \(z_1\) is at \(60^\circ\) from both \(z_2\) and \(z_3\), we find that: \[ \text{arg}(2z_1 - z_2 - z_3) = \frac{\pi}{2} \] 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the final result is: \[ \text{arg}\left(\frac{2z_1 - z_2 - z_3}{z_3 - z_2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2} \]
