Mathematics Question on argand plane
Suppose z1,z2,z3 are the vertices of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle ∣z∣=2. If z1 = 3i and z1,z2,z3 are in . the clockwise sense, then
A
z2=1−3i,z3=−2
B
z2=,z3=1−3i
C
z2=−1+3i,z3=−2
D
none of these
Answer
z2=1−3i,z3=−2
Explanation
Solution
amp.(z1)=amp.(1+3i) =tan−13=3π amp.(z2)=3π−32π=−3π and ∣z2∣=2 ∴z2=2[cos(−3π)+isin(−3π)] =2[cos3π−isin3π] =2(21−i23)=1−i3 amp.(z3)=3π+32π=π and ∣z3∣=2 ∴z3=2(cosπ+isinπ)=2
