TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

8. A complex number \(z\) is represented by the point \(P\) on an Argand diagram.
  1. Given that \(| z | = 1\), sketch the locus of \(P\). The transformation \(T\) from the \(z\)-plane to the \(w\)-plane is given by $$w = \frac { z + 7 \mathrm { i } } { z - 2 \mathrm { i } }$$
  2. Show that \(T\) maps \(| z | = 1\) onto a circle in the \(w\)-plane.
  3. Show that this circle has its centre at \(w = - 5\) and find its radius.
