TopicComplex numbers 2

  1. The transformation \(T\) from the \(z\)-plane, where \(z = x + \mathrm { i } y\), to the \(w\)-plane, where \(w = u + \mathrm { i } v\), is given by
$$w = \frac { z + \mathrm { i } } { \mathrm { z } } , \quad z \neq 0 .$$
  1. The transformation \(T\) maps the points on the line with equation \(y = x\) in the \(z\)-plane, other than \(( 0,0 )\), to points on a line \(l\) in the \(w\)-plane. Find a cartesian equation of \(l\).
  2. Show that the image, under \(T\), of the line with equation \(x + y + 1 = 0\) in the \(z\)-plane is a circle \(C\) in the \(w\)-plane, where \(C\) has cartesian equation $$u ^ { 2 } + v ^ { 2 } - u + v = 0$$
  3. On the same Argand diagram, sketch \(l\) and \(C\).
