The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given for two complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \): \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \] ### Step 1: Expand the left-hand side Using the property of modulus, we can expand the left-hand side: \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = (z_1 + z_2)(\overline{z_1 + z_2}) = (z_1 + z_2)(\overline{z_1} + \overline{z_2}) \] Expanding this, we get: \[ = z_1 \overline{z_1} + z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} + z_2 \overline{z_2} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the modulus We know that \( |z_1|^2 = z_1 \overline{z_1} \) and \( |z_2|^2 = z_2 \overline{z_2} \). Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 + z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} \] ### Step 3: Set the equation Now, substituting back into the equation we have: \[ |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 + z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Subtracting \( |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \) from both sides gives us: \[ z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = 0 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the result The expression \( z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = 0 \) implies that: \[ \text{Re}(z_1 \overline{z_2}) = 0 \] This means that the product \( z_1 \overline{z_2} \) is purely imaginary. ### Step 6: Relate to angles Let \( z_1 = r_1 e^{i\theta_1} \) and \( z_2 = r_2 e^{i\theta_2} \). Then: \[ z_1 \overline{z_2} = r_1 r_2 e^{i(\theta_1 - \theta_2)} \] For this to be purely imaginary, the angle \( \theta_1 - \theta_2 \) must be \( \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi \) for some integer \( k \). The simplest case is when: \[ \theta_1 - \theta_2 = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Step 7: Conclusion This means that the arguments of \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) differ by \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), which indicates that \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are orthogonal in the complex plane. Thus, the conclusion is that if \( |z_1 + z_2|^2 = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \), then the complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are orthogonal. ### Final Answer The correct option is **A**: \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are orthogonal. ---

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given for two complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \): \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \] ### Step 1: Expand the left-hand side ...
