The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given condition that \(\frac{2z_1}{3z_2}\) is a purely imaginary number. ### Step 1: Set up the equation Since \(\frac{2z_1}{3z_2}\) is purely imaginary, we can express this condition mathematically: \[ \frac{2z_1}{3z_2} = -\frac{2z_1}{3z_2}^* \] where \(z^*\) denotes the complex conjugate of \(z\). ### Step 2: Cross-multiply Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 2z_1 = -2z_1^* \frac{z_2}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2z_1 z_2^* + 2z_1^* z_2 = 0 \] Dividing by 2, we get: \[ z_1 z_2^* + z_1^* z_2 = 0 \] This is our equation (1). ### Step 3: Define the expression to find We need to find: \[ \left| \frac{z_1 - z_2}{z_1 + z_2} \right| \] Let this expression be \(x\): \[ x = \frac{z_1 - z_2}{z_1 + z_2} \] ### Step 4: Square the expression Squaring both sides gives: \[ x^2 = \left| \frac{z_1 - z_2}{z_1 + z_2} \right|^2 = \frac{|z_1 - z_2|^2}{|z_1 + z_2|^2} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the numerator Using the property of modulus: \[ |z_1 - z_2|^2 = (z_1 - z_2)(z_1 - z_2)^* = (z_1 - z_2)(z_1^* - z_2^*) \] Expanding this gives: \[ |z_1|^2 - z_1 z_2^* - z_1^* z_2 + |z_2|^2 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the denominator Similarly, \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = (z_1 + z_2)(z_1 + z_2)^* = (z_1 + z_2)(z_1^* + z_2^*) \] Expanding this gives: \[ |z_1|^2 + z_1 z_2^* + z_1^* z_2 + |z_2|^2 \] ### Step 7: Substitute into the expression for \(x^2\) Now substituting the numerator and denominator into the expression for \(x^2\): \[ x^2 = \frac{|z_1|^2 - z_1 z_2^* - z_1^* z_2 + |z_2|^2}{|z_1|^2 + z_1 z_2^* + z_1^* z_2 + |z_2|^2} \] ### Step 8: Use equation (1) From equation (1), we know that: \[ z_1 z_2^* + z_1^* z_2 = 0 \] Thus, we can substitute \(z_1 z_2^* + z_1^* z_2 = 0\) into our expression: \[ x^2 = \frac{|z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2}{|z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2} = 1 \] ### Step 9: Conclusion Taking the square root gives: \[ |x| = 1 \] Thus, the final result is: \[ \left| \frac{z_1 - z_2}{z_1 + z_2} \right| = 1 \]
