TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

9. A complex number \(z\) is represented by the point \(P\) in the Argand diagram. Given that $$| z - 3 \mathrm { i } | = 3$$
  1. sketch the locus of \(P\).
  2. Find the complex number \(z\) which satisfies both \(| z - 3 i | = 3\) and \(\arg ( z - 3 i ) = \frac { 3 } { 4 } \pi\). The transformation \(T\) from the \(z\)-plane to the \(w\)-plane is given by $$w = \frac { 2 \mathrm { i } } { z }$$
  3. Show that \(T\) maps \(| z - 3 i | = 3\) to a line in the \(w\)-plane, and give the cartesian equation of this line.
