| Topic | Complex numbers 2 |
| Type | Complex transformations (Möbius) |
| Difficulty | Challenging +1.2 This is a standard Möbius transformation question requiring systematic application of known techniques: substituting the line equation, algebraic manipulation to find the image circle's equation, and determining which region maps where using a test point. While it involves several steps and careful algebra with complex numbers, it follows a well-established procedure taught in Further Maths F2 with no novel insights required. |
