The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the equation given for the complex number \( z \): \[ |z - \frac{4}{z}| = 2 \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We can rewrite the equation using the property of modulus. Let \( z = re^{i\theta} \), where \( r = |z| \) and \( \theta = \arg(z) \). Then, we have: \[ |z - \frac{4}{z}| = |z - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{z}| = |z - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{re^{i\theta}}| = |re^{i\theta} - \frac{4}{r} e^{-i\theta}| \] ### Step 2: Square both sides Squaring both sides gives: \[ |z - \frac{4}{z}|^2 = 4 \] This leads to: \[ (z - \frac{4}{z})(\overline{z} - \frac{4}{\overline{z}}) = 4 \] Substituting \( z = re^{i\theta} \) and \( \overline{z} = re^{-i\theta} \): \[ (re^{i\theta} - \frac{4}{r} e^{-i\theta})(re^{-i\theta} - \frac{4}{r} e^{i\theta}) = 4 \] ### Step 3: Expand the expression Expanding the left-hand side: \[ \left(r^2 - \frac{4}{r} e^{i\theta} \cdot re^{-i\theta} - \frac{4}{r} re^{i\theta} \cdot e^{-i\theta} + \frac{16}{r^2}\right) = 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ r^2 + \frac{16}{r^2} - 4 = 4 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ r^2 + \frac{16}{r^2} = 8 \] ### Step 5: Multiply through by \( r^2 \) Multiplying through by \( r^2 \) gives: \[ r^4 - 8r^2 + 16 = 0 \] ### Step 6: Let \( x = r^2 \) Let \( x = r^2 \). The equation becomes: \[ x^2 - 8x + 16 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Factor the quadratic Factoring gives: \[ (x - 4)^2 = 0 \] Thus, \( x = 4 \) which implies: \[ r^2 = 4 \implies r = 2 \] ### Step 8: Finding the argument Now, we need to find the values of \( \arg(z_1/z_2) \) where \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are complex numbers with the greatest and least moduli. Since both \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) have the same modulus \( r = 2 \), we can express them as: \[ z_1 = 2e^{i\theta_1}, \quad z_2 = 2e^{i\theta_2} \] Thus: \[ \frac{z_1}{z_2} = \frac{2e^{i\theta_1}}{2e^{i\theta_2}} = e^{i(\theta_1 - \theta_2)} \] ### Step 9: Finding the argument The argument of \( z_1/z_2 \) is: \[ \arg\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right) = \theta_1 - \theta_2 \] Given that \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \) can take values such that the maximum and minimum moduli are achieved, we find that: \[ \arg(z_1/z_2) = n\pi \quad \text{(where \( n \) is an integer)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the possible values of \( \arg(z_1/z_2) \) can be \( \pm \pi \). ### Final Answer The value of \( \arg(z_1/z_2) \) can be \( \pi \) or \( -\pi \). ---
