The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the tangent at the point \( z_1 \) on the circle defined by \( |z| = r \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Circle The equation \( |z| = r \) represents a circle centered at the origin (0, 0) with a radius \( r \). Any point \( z_1 \) on this circle can be expressed in terms of its coordinates as: \[ z_1 = x_1 + i y_1 \] where \( x_1^2 + y_1^2 = r^2 \). ### Step 2: Equation of the Tangent The equation of the tangent to a circle at a point \( z_1 \) can be derived using the formula: \[ z \cdot \overline{z_1} = |z_1|^2 \] Given that \( |z_1|^2 = r^2 \) (since \( z_1 \) lies on the circle), we can write: \[ z \cdot \overline{z_1} = r^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( z_1 \) Substituting \( z_1 = x_1 + i y_1 \) into the equation gives: \[ z \cdot (x_1 - i y_1) = r^2 \] This can be expanded as: \[ z \cdot x_1 - z \cdot i y_1 = r^2 \] ### Step 4: Express in Terms of \( z \) The equation can be rearranged to express \( z \): \[ z \cdot x_1 - i z \cdot y_1 = r^2 \] This shows that the tangent line at point \( z_1 \) can be represented in terms of \( z \) and \( \overline{z_1} \). ### Step 5: Final Form Thus, the final equation of the tangent at point \( z_1 \) on the circle \( |z| = r \) can be expressed as: \[ z \cdot \overline{z_1} = r^2 \] or equivalently: \[ z \cdot z_1^* = r^2 \] where \( z_1^* \) is the conjugate of \( z_1 \). ### Conclusion The equation of the tangent line at the point \( z_1 \) on the circle \( |z| = r \) is: \[ z \cdot \overline{z_1} = r^2 \] ---
