If the complex number $z_1, z_2, 0$ are vertices of an equilateral triangle, then $z_1^2+z_2^2=$

If the complex number $z_1, z_2, 0$ are vertices of an equilateral triangle, then $z_1^2+z_2^2=$
  1. $2 z_1^2 z_2^2$
  2. $z_1^2 z_2^2$
  3. $2 z_1 z_2$
  4. $z_1 z_2$

Solution

If $z_1, z_2$ and $z_3$ represents the vertices of an equilateral triangle, then $z_1^2+z_2^2+z_3^2=z_1 z_2+z_2 z_3+z_3 z_1$ In this question, $\therefore \quad z_1^2+z_2^2=z_1 z_2$
