prove that for any distinct, nonzero complex numbers u and v, the points 0,u,v, and u+v, are the vertices of a parrallelogram

OpenStudy (jamesj):

write u = (a,b) and v = (c,d). Then the side 0 to u is a vector u - 0 = <a,b> and the opposite side is the vector from v to u+v which is (u+v) - v = <a,b> Hence since the two sides have exactly the same vector direction, they must be parallel. You can now make the same argument for the other two sides: 0 to v, and u to u+v

OpenStudy (jamesj):

I should also add that each member of a pair of sides are of equal length
