The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation and the conditions provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Condition:** We start with the equation: \[ |z_1^2 - z_2^2| = |\overline{z_1^2} + \overline{z_2^2} - 2\overline{z_1}\overline{z_2}| \] We can rewrite \(z_1^2 - z_2^2\) as \((z_1 - z_2)(z_1 + z_2)\). 2. **Rewriting the Right Side:** The right-hand side can be simplified using the properties of conjugates: \[ \overline{z_1^2} = \overline{z_1}^2 \quad \text{and} \quad \overline{z_2^2} = \overline{z_2}^2 \] Thus, we have: \[ |\overline{z_1}^2 + \overline{z_2}^2 - 2\overline{z_1}\overline{z_2}| = |(\overline{z_1} - \overline{z_2})^2| \] This can be expressed as: \[ |z_1 - z_2|^2 \] 3. **Setting Up the Equation:** Now we have: \[ |(z_1 - z_2)(z_1 + z_2)| = |(\overline{z_1} - \overline{z_2})^2| \] This implies: \[ |z_1 - z_2| |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2|^2 \] Since \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) are distinct, we can divide both sides by \(|z_1 - z_2|\): \[ |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \] 4. **Geometric Interpretation:** The equation \(|z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2|\) indicates that the points \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) are equidistant from the origin. This means that the line joining \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) is perpendicular to the line joining \(z_1 + z_2\) to the origin. 5. **Using Argument Condition:** We also know that: \[ \arg(z_1) - \arg(z_2) = \frac{\pi}{b} \] This implies that the angle between the two complex numbers is a rational multiple of \(\pi\). 6. **Finding Values of \(a\) and \(b\):** From the geometric interpretation, we can deduce that: \[ \arg\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2} \] This means: \[ \arg(z_1) - \arg(z_2) = \frac{\pi}{2} \] Thus, we can set \(a = 1\) and \(b = 2\). 7. **Calculating \(|a - b|\):** Finally, we need to find: \[ |a - b| = |1 - 2| = 1 \] ### Final Answer: The least possible value of \(|a - b|\) is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
