Exercise 8
Prove that two nonzero complex numbers z1 and z2 have the same moduli if and only if there are
complex numbers c1 and c2 such that z1 = c1 c2 and z2 = c1c2.
Suggestion: Note that
θ 1 + θ2 θ1 − θ 2
exp i exp i = exp(iθ1 )
2 2
and
θ1 + θ2 θ1 − θ 2
exp i exp i = exp(iθ2 ).
2 2
Solution
p q
|z2 | = (a1 a2 + b1 b2 ) + (−a1 b2 + a2 b1 ) = a21 a22 + a22 b21 + a21 b22 + b21 b22
2 2
in fact equal. Therefore, two nonzero complex numbers, z1 and z2 , have the same moduli if and
only if there are complex numbers, c1 and c2 , such that z1 = c1 c2 and z2 = c1c2.
