Q. Points $z_1 \& z_2$ are adjacent vertices of a regular octagon. The vertex $z_3$ adjacent to $z_2\left(z_3 \neq z_1\right)$ is represented by :

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Solution:

$\frac{z_3-z_2}{z_2-z_1}= e ^{\pm i \frac{\pi}{4}}$
$\because \left|z_1-z_2\right|=\left|z_2-z_3\right|$

$\Rightarrow z_3=z_2+\left(\frac{1+i}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(z_2-z_1\right)$
