The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(z1), B(z2), and C(z3) given the conditions stated. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the conditions We are given: - \( z_3 = \frac{z_2 - iz_1}{1 - i} \) - \( |z_1| = 3 \) - \( |z_2| = 4 \) - \( |z_2 + iz_1| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) ### Step 2: Analyzing the equality of moduli From the condition \( |z_2 + iz_1| = |z_1| + |z_2| \), we can use the triangle inequality. This equality implies that \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are collinear, meaning they lie on the same line through the origin. ### Step 3: Finding the argument Since \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are collinear, we can express: - \( z_2 = k z_1 \) for some real number \( k \). Given \( |z_1| = 3 \) and \( |z_2| = 4 \), we have: \[ |k| \cdot |z_1| = 4 \implies |k| \cdot 3 = 4 \implies |k| = \frac{4}{3} \] Thus, \( z_2 = \frac{4}{3} z_1 \) or \( z_2 = -\frac{4}{3} z_1 \). ### Step 4: Finding \( z_3 \) Using \( z_2 = \frac{4}{3} z_1 \), we can substitute into the equation for \( z_3 \): \[ z_3 = \frac{\frac{4}{3} z_1 - iz_1}{1 - i} \] Simplifying the numerator: \[ z_3 = \frac{z_1 \left( \frac{4}{3} - i \right)}{1 - i} \] Now, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ z_3 = \frac{z_1 \left( \frac{4}{3} - i \right)(1 + i)}{(1 - i)(1 + i)} = \frac{z_1 \left( \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3}i - i - 1 \right)}{2} = \frac{z_1 \left( \frac{4}{3} - 1 + \left( \frac{4}{3} - 1 \right)i \right)}{2} \] Calculating \( \frac{4}{3} - 1 = \frac{1}{3} \): \[ z_3 = \frac{z_1 \left( \frac{1}{3} + \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)i \right)}{2} = \frac{z_1}{6} (1 + i) \] ### Step 5: Area of triangle ABC The area of triangle ABC can be computed using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times |z_1| \times |z_2| \times \sin(\theta) \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \). Since \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are perpendicular (as shown earlier), \( \sin(\theta) = 1 \). Thus, substituting the values: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 \times 1 = 6 \] ### Step 6: Final area calculation Now we can calculate the area using the coordinates of points A, B, and C: - The lengths of sides can be derived from the coordinates, but since we already established the perpendicularity, we can simplify: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times BC \times AC \] Since both lengths are derived from the magnitudes of \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \): \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6 \] ### Conclusion The area of triangle ABC is \( 6 \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(z1), B(z2), and C(z3) given the conditions stated. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the conditions We are given: - \( z_3 = \frac{z_2 - iz_1}{1 - i} \) - \( |z_1| = 3 \) - \( |z_2| = 4 \) - \( |z_2 + iz_1| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) ...
