Answer

  1. If z_1=z_2=z_3, then (z_1-z_2)^2+(z_2-z_3)^2=0. So it's true z_1=z_2=z_3 is the sufficient condition for the equation to hold true. However, if z_1 = i, z_2=0 and z_3=1, then

    (i-1)^2+(0-1)^2=i^2+1^2 = -1+1=0

    which shows the equation is also equal to 0. So (z_1-z_2)^2+(z_2-z_3)^2=0 must not deduce the result of z_1=z_2=z_3. z_1=z_2=z_3 is not the necessary condition for the equation to hold true.
