The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given condition: \[ \left| \frac{1}{z_2} + \frac{1}{z_1} \right| = \left| \frac{1}{z_2} - \frac{1}{z_1} \right| \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We can rewrite the left-hand side and right-hand side using a common denominator: \[ \left| \frac{z_1 + z_2}{z_1 z_2} \right| = \left| \frac{z_1 - z_2}{z_1 z_2} \right| \] ### Step 2: Remove the denominator Since \( z_1 z_2 \) is non-zero (as \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are complex numbers representing points P and Q), we can multiply both sides by \( |z_1 z_2| \): \[ |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \] ### Step 3: Use the property of moduli The equation \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \) indicates that the points represented by \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are equidistant from the origin. This implies that the points form a right triangle with the origin. ### Step 4: Interpret geometrically The condition \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \) geometrically means that the angle between the vectors \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) is \( 90^\circ \). Therefore, the triangle formed by the points O (origin), P (point represented by \( z_1 \)), and Q (point represented by \( z_2 \)) is a right triangle. ### Step 5: Find the circumcenter In a right triangle, the circumcenter (the center of the circumcircle) is located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse in this case is the line segment joining points P and Q. The circumcenter \( C \) can be calculated as: \[ C = \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the circumcenter of triangle OPQ is given by: \[ C = \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \]
