The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given condition involving the complex numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \). The condition states that \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: We start with the condition \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1 - z_2| \). This implies that the distance from the origin to the point \( z_1 + z_2 \) is equal to the distance from the origin to the point \( z_1 - z_2 \). 2. **Squaring Both Sides**: To simplify the equation, we square both sides: \[ |z_1 + z_2|^2 = |z_1 - z_2|^2 \] This leads to: \[ (z_1 + z_2)(\overline{z_1 + z_2}) = (z_1 - z_2)(\overline{z_1 - z_2}) \] 3. **Expanding Both Sides**: Expanding both sides, we have: \[ |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 + z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 - z_1 \overline{z_2} - z_2 \overline{z_1} \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: By rearranging the equation, we can eliminate \( |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 \) from both sides: \[ z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} + z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2(z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1}) = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion About the Angles**: The equation \( z_1 \overline{z_2} + z_2 \overline{z_1} = 0 \) implies that the angle \( \angle AOB \) formed by the vectors \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) (90 degrees). This means that the points \( A \) and \( B \) are at right angles with respect to the origin \( O \). 6. **Finding the Circumcenter**: In a triangle where one angle is \( 90^\circ \), the circumcenter is located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse in this case is the line segment connecting points \( A \) and \( B \). Therefore, the circumcenter \( C \) of triangle \( OAB \) is given by: \[ C = \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The circumcenter of triangle \( OAB \) is \( \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \).
