The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the condition under which the equation \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) holds true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Equation**: The equation \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) states that the magnitude of the sum of two complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) is equal to the sum of their magnitudes. This is a property that holds true under certain conditions. 2. **Applying the Triangle Inequality**: The triangle inequality states that for any two complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \): \[ |z_1 + z_2| \leq |z_1| + |z_2| \] The equality \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) holds if and only if \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) point in the same direction in the complex plane. 3. **Condition for Equality**: The condition for equality in the triangle inequality is that \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) must be non-negative multiples of each other. This means: \[ z_1 = k \cdot z_2 \quad \text{for some } k \geq 0 \] or both \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) must be either both positive or both negative. 4. **Testing Cases**: - **Case 1**: Both \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are positive. - Let \( z_1 = 3 \) and \( z_2 = 2 \): \[ |3 + 2| = |5| = 5 \quad \text{and} \quad |3| + |2| = 3 + 2 = 5 \] Thus, \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) holds true. - **Case 2**: Both \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are negative. - Let \( z_1 = -3 \) and \( z_2 = -2 \): \[ |-3 - 2| = |-5| = 5 \quad \text{and} \quad |-3| + |-2| = 3 + 2 = 5 \] Thus, \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) holds true. - **Case 3**: One is positive and the other is negative. - Let \( z_1 = 3 \) and \( z_2 = -2 \): \[ |3 - 2| = |1| = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad |3| + |-2| = 3 + 2 = 5 \] Thus, \( |z_1 + z_2| \neq |z_1| + |z_2| \). 5. **Conclusion**: The equality \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \) is possible if both complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are either both positive or both negative, which means they must have the same argument.
