Question Number 77991 by peter frank last updated on 12/Jan/20

If  P_1   P_2   P_3   will be taken  as point in an Argand  diagram representing  complex number  Z_1 ,Z_2 ,Z_3   and point  P_(1 ) ,P_2 ,P_3  is an equalateral  triangle.show that  (Z_2 −Z_3 )^2 +(Z_3 −Z_1 )^2 +(Z_1 −Z_2 )^2 =0

$${If}\:\:{P}_{\mathrm{1}} \:\:{P}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\:{P}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\:{will}\:{be}\:{taken} \\ $$$${as}\:{point}\:{in}\:{an}\:{Argand} \\ $$$${diagram}\:{representing} \\ $$$${complex}\:{number} \\ $$$${Z}_{\mathrm{1}} ,{Z}_{\mathrm{2}} ,{Z}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\:{and}\:{point} \\ $$$${P}_{\mathrm{1}\:} ,{P}_{\mathrm{2}} ,{P}_{\mathrm{3}} \:{is}\:{an}\:{equalateral} \\ $$$${triangle}.{show}\:{that} \\ $$$$\left({Z}_{\mathrm{2}} −{Z}_{\mathrm{3}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({Z}_{\mathrm{3}} −{Z}_{\mathrm{1}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({Z}_{\mathrm{1}} −{Z}_{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$

the equality is symetrice in sens of   P(z_1 ,z_2 ,z_3 )=(z_1 −z_2 )^2 +(z_2 −z_3 )^2 +(z_1 −z_3 )^2 =p(z_1 ,z_3 ,z_2 ).....  P_1 P_2 P_3   equalateral ⇒((z_3 −z_2 )/(z_3 −z_1 ))=e^((iπ)/3) ,we can chose this   cause of the symetri      ⇒z_3 =((z_2 −z_1 e^((iπ)/3) )/(1−e^((iπ)/3) ))=(z_2 −z_1 e^((iπ)/3) )e^((iπ)/3)   z_3 =z_2 e^((iπ)/3) −z_1 e^((2iπ)/3)   z_3 −z_2 =(z_2 −z_1 )e^((2iπ)/3)   z_3 −z_1 =(z_2 −z_1 )e^((iπ)/3)   (z_3 −z_2 )^2 +(z_3 −z_1 )^2 +(z_1 −z_2 )^2 =(z_2 −z_1 )^2 e^((4iπ)/3) +(z_2 −z_1 )^2 e^((2iπ)/3) +(z_2 −z_1 )^2   letj=e^((2iπ)/3)   =(z_2 −z_1 )^2 (1+j+j^2 )  since j^2 +j+1=0  ⇒(z_3 −z_2 )^2 +(z_3 −z_1 )^2 +(z_2 −z_1 )^2 =0

start with  P_(j+1) ^� = (((acos (α+((2π)/3)j))),((asin (α+((2π)/3)j))) ) ; j=0, 1, 2  obviously this gives an equilateral triangle  for any value of α  now shift by s^→ = ((p),(q) )  ⇒ P_(j+1) =P_(j+1) ^� +s^→ = (((p+acos (α+((2π)/3)j))),((q+asin (α+((2π)/3)j))) ) ; j=0, 1, 2  ⇒  Z_1 =p+acos α +i(q+asin α)  Z_2 =p+acos (α+((2π)/3)) +i(q+asin (α+((2π)/3)))  Z_3 =p+acos (α+((4π)/3)) +i(q+asin (α+((4π)/3)))  cos (α+((2π)/3)) =−((cos α +(√3)sin α)/2)  sin (α+((2π)/3)) =(((√3)cos α −sin α)/2)  cos (α+((4π)/3)) =−((cos α −(√3)sin α)/2)  sin (α+((4π)/3)) =−(((√3)cos α +sin α)/2)  let u=cos α ∧v=sin α  Z_1 =p+au+i(q+av)  Z_2 =p−(a/2)(u+(√3)v)+i(q+(a/2)((√3)u−v))  Z_3 =p−(a/2)(u−(√3)v)+i(q−(a/2)((√3)u+v))  (Z_1 −Z_2 )^2 =((((√3)a)/2)(((√3)u+v)−i(u−(√3)v)))^2 =  =((3a^2 )/2)((u^2 +2(√3)uv−v^2 )−i((√3)u^2 −2uv−(√3)v^2 ))  (Z_1 −Z_3 )^2 =((((√3)a)/2)(((√3)u−v)+i(u+(√3)v)))^2 =  =((3a^2 )/2)((u^2 −2(√3)uv−v^2 )+i((√3)u^2 +2uv−(√3)v^2 ))  (Z_2 −Z_3 )^2 =((√3)a(−v+iu))^2 =  =3a^2 ((v^2 −u^2 )−2iuv)  adding them gives 0
