The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given expression and the geometric configuration of the tangents and the circle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circle and Points**: - We have a circle defined by the equation \( |z - z_0| = r \), where \( z_0 \) is the center and \( r \) is the radius. - Points \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) lie on the circumference of this circle. 2. **Tangents at Points**: - The tangents at points \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) intersect at point \( z_3 \). - The distances from the center \( z_0 \) to the points \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are equal to the radius \( r \). 3. **Using the Tangent Properties**: - The lengths of the tangents from a point outside the circle to the points of tangency are equal. Therefore, we have: - \( |z_3 - z_1| = PA \) - \( |z_0 - z_1| = AC \) - \( |z_0 - z_2| = BC \) - \( |z_3 - z_2| = BP \) 4. **Setting Up the Ratios**: - We can express the given expression as: \[ \frac{(z_3 - z_1)(z_0 - z_2)}{(z_0 - z_1)(z_3 - z_2)} \] - Substituting the lengths we defined, we have: \[ \frac{PA \cdot BC}{AC \cdot BP} \] 5. **Simplifying the Expression**: - Since \( PA = BP \) (the lengths of the tangents from \( z_3 \) to \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are equal), \[ \frac{PA \cdot BC}{AC \cdot PA} = \frac{BC}{AC} \] 6. **Using the Radius**: - Since \( AC = BC = r \) (the radius of the circle), \[ \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{r}{r} = 1 \] 7. **Final Calculation**: - The expression simplifies to: \[ \frac{(z_3 - z_1)(z_0 - z_2)}{(z_0 - z_1)(z_3 - z_2)} = i^2 = -1 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \boxed{-1} \]
