The correct Answer is:
To determine whether two complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are necessarily equal when their magnitudes (or moduli) are equal, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Complex Numbers**: Let \( z_1 = x_1 + i y_1 \) and \( z_2 = x_2 + i y_2 \), where \( x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2 \) are real numbers. 2. **Magnitude of Complex Numbers**: The magnitude (modulus) of a complex number \( z \) is defined as: \[ |z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] Therefore, we have: \[ |z_1| = \sqrt{x_1^2 + y_1^2} \quad \text{and} \quad |z_2| = \sqrt{x_2^2 + y_2^2} \] 3. **Given Condition**: We are given that: \[ |z_1| = |z_2| \] This implies: \[ \sqrt{x_1^2 + y_1^2} = \sqrt{x_2^2 + y_2^2} \] 4. **Squaring Both Sides**: Squaring both sides of the equation gives us: \[ x_1^2 + y_1^2 = x_2^2 + y_2^2 \] 5. **Equality of Complex Numbers**: For two complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) to be equal, we need: \[ x_1 = x_2 \quad \text{and} \quad y_1 = y_2 \] However, from the equation \( x_1^2 + y_1^2 = x_2^2 + y_2^2 \), we cannot conclude that \( x_1 = x_2 \) and \( y_1 = y_2 \). 6. **Counterexample**: To illustrate this, consider the complex numbers: \[ z_1 = 3 + 4i \quad \text{and} \quad z_2 = 4 + 3i \] Here, we have: \[ |z_1| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] \[ |z_2| = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] Thus, \( |z_1| = |z_2| \), but clearly \( z_1 \neq z_2 \). ### Conclusion: Therefore, it is not necessary that \( z_1 = z_2 \) even if \( |z_1| = |z_2| \).
