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 \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are not zero, we can multiply both sides by \( |z_1 z_2| \): \[ |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \] ### Step 3: Square both sides Now, squaring both sides gives us: \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = |z_1 - z_2|^2 \] ### Step 4: Expand both sides Using the property of modulus, we expand both sides: \[ (z_1 + z_2)(\overline{z_1 + z_2}) = (z_1 - z_2)(\overline{z_1 - z_2}) \] This leads to: \[ |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 + z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 - z_1 \overline{z_2} - z_2 \overline{z_1} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Cancelling \( |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \) from both sides gives: \[ z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = - (z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1}) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2(z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1}) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Rearranging Thus, we have: \[ z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = 0 \] ### Step 7: Divide by \( z_2 \overline{z_2} \) Dividing both sides by \( z_2 \overline{z_2} \) gives: \[ \frac{z_1}{z_2} + \frac{z_2}{z_1} = 0 \] Let \( z = \frac{z_1}{z_2} \). Then we have: \[ z + \frac{1}{z} = 0 \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( z \) Multiplying through by \( z \) gives: \[ z^2 + 1 = 0 \] Thus, \[ z^2 = -1 \implies z = i \text{ or } z = -i \] ### Step 9: Conclusion about angles This implies that: \[ \frac{z_1}{z_2} = i \text{ or } \frac{z_1}{z_2} = -i \] This means that the argument of \( \frac{z_1}{z_2} \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) or \( -\frac{\pi}{2} \), indicating that \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are perpendicular to each other. ### Final Result Thus, the angle between the vectors represented by \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), confirming that they form a right triangle.

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: ...
