Solution

|z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2| is possible if arg (z1) = arg (z2).

Explanation:

Let z1 = r1(cosθ1 + isin θ1) and z2 = r2(cosθ2 + isin θ2)

Since |z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2|

 |z1 + z2| = r1cosθ1 + ir1sinθ1 + r2cosθ2 + ir2sinθ2

|z1 + z2| = `sqrt(r_1^2 cos^2 theta_ + r_2^2 cos^2 theta_2 + 2r_1r_2 cos theta_1 cos theta_2 + r_1^2 sin^2 theta_1 + r_2^2 sin^2 theta_2 + 2r_1r_2 sin theta_1 sin theta_2)`

= `sqrt(r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2r_1r_2 cos(theta_1 - theta_2))`

But |z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2|

So `sqrt(r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2r_1r_2 cos(theta_1 - theta_2))` = r1 + r2

Squaring both sides, we get

`r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2r_1r_2 cos(theta_1 - theta_2) = r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2r_1r_2`

⇒ `2r_1r_2 - 2r_1r_2 cos(theta_1 - theta_2)` = 0

⇒ 1 – cos(θ1 – θ2) = 0

⇒ cos(θ1 – θ2) = 1

⇒ θ1 – θ2 = 0

⇒ θ1 = θ2

So, arg(z1) = arg(z2)
