The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the argument of the quotient of two complex numbers, specifically \( \arg\left(\frac{z_3}{z_2}\right) \), given that \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) are conjugate complex numbers, and \( z_3 \) and \( z_4 \) are also conjugate complex numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conjugate Complex Numbers**: - If \( z_1 = a + bi \), then its conjugate \( z_2 = a - bi \). - Similarly, if \( z_3 = c + di \), then its conjugate \( z_4 = c - di \). 2. **Expressing the Quotient**: - We need to find \( \frac{z_3}{z_2} \). - Using the definitions, we can write: \[ \frac{z_3}{z_2} = \frac{c + di}{a - bi} \] 3. **Multiplying by the Conjugate**: - To simplify this expression, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{z_3}{z_2} = \frac{(c + di)(a + bi)}{(a - bi)(a + bi)} = \frac{(ca + bdi + abi - db)}{a^2 + b^2} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{(ca + bd) + (ad - bc)i}{a^2 + b^2} \] 4. **Finding the Argument**: - The argument of a complex number \( x + yi \) is given by \( \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \). - Thus, we have: \[ \arg\left(\frac{z_3}{z_2}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{ad - bc}{ca + bd}\right) \] 5. **Using Properties of Conjugates**: - Since \( z_2 \) is the conjugate of \( z_1 \), we also know: \[ \arg(z_2) = -\arg(z_1) \] - Similarly, since \( z_4 \) is the conjugate of \( z_3 \): \[ \arg(z_4) = -\arg(z_3) \] 6. **Final Expression**: - Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \arg\left(\frac{z_3}{z_2}\right) = \arg(z_3) - \arg(z_2) = \arg(z_3) + \arg(z_1) \] - Since \( z_3 \) and \( z_4 \) are conjugates, we have: \[ \arg(z_3) = -\arg(z_4) \] - Thus, the final result is: \[ \arg\left(\frac{z_3}{z_2}\right) = \arg(z_3) + \arg(z_1) \] ### Conclusion: The argument \( \arg\left(\frac{z_3}{z_2}\right) \) can be expressed in terms of the arguments of the conjugate pairs.
