The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the complex number \( z \) that satisfies the equation: \[ 2(z + \bar{z}) + 3(z - \bar{z})i = 0 \] and minimizes the expression \( |z - z_1| + |z - z_2| \), where \( z_1 = 3 + 4i \) and \( z_2 = 2 + i \). ### Step 1: Simplify the given equation First, we rewrite the equation using the definitions of \( z \) and \( \bar{z} \): Let \( z = x + yi \), where \( x \) and \( y \) are real numbers. Then, \( \bar{z} = x - yi \). Substituting \( z \) and \( \bar{z} \) into the equation gives: \[ 2((x + yi) + (x - yi)) + 3((x + yi) - (x - yi))i = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2(2x) + 3(2yi)i = 0 \] \[ 4x + 6yi^2 = 0 \] Since \( i^2 = -1 \), we have: \[ 4x - 6y = 0 \] ### Step 2: Solve for \( y \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 4x = 6y \implies y = \frac{2}{3}x \] ### Step 3: Express \( z \) in terms of \( x \) Now we can express \( z \) as: \[ z = x + \frac{2}{3}xi = x\left(1 + \frac{2}{3}i\right) \] ### Step 4: Find the minimum value of \( |z - z_1| + |z - z_2| \) We need to minimize: \[ |z - z_1| + |z - z_2| \] Substituting \( z = x + \frac{2}{3}xi \): \[ |z - z_1| = |(x - 3) + \left(\frac{2}{3}x - 4\right)i| \] \[ |z - z_2| = |(x - 2) + \left(\frac{2}{3}x - 1\right)i| \] ### Step 5: Geometric interpretation The expression \( |z - z_1| + |z - z_2| \) represents the sum of distances from the point \( z \) to the points \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \). The minimum occurs when \( z \) lies on the line segment connecting \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \). ### Step 6: Find the equation of the line connecting \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) The slope \( m \) of the line through points \( (3, 4) \) and \( (2, 1) \) is: \[ m = \frac{1 - 4}{2 - 3} = \frac{-3}{-1} = 3 \] The equation of the line in point-slope form is: \[ y - 4 = 3(x - 3) \] ### Step 7: Find the intersection with \( y = \frac{2}{3}x \) To find the intersection of the line \( y = 3x - 5 \) and \( y = \frac{2}{3}x \), we set: \[ 3x - 5 = \frac{2}{3}x \] Multiplying through by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 9x - 15 = 2x \] \[ 7x = 15 \implies x = \frac{15}{7} \] Substituting back to find \( y \): \[ y = \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{15}{7} = \frac{10}{7} \] ### Final Result Thus, the possible value of \( z \) that minimizes \( |z - z_1| + |z - z_2| \) is: \[ z = \frac{15}{7} + \frac{10}{7}i \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the complex number \( z \) that satisfies the equation: \[ 2(z + \bar{z}) + 3(z - \bar{z})i = 0 \] and minimizes the expression \( |z - z_1| + |z - z_2| \), where \( z_1 = 3 + 4i \) and \( z_2 = 2 + i \). ...
