Exam questions on Transformations from the z-plane to the w-plane

  1. The transformation TT from the zz-plane to the ww-plane is given by w=z2w=z^2, where z=x+iyz=x+iy and w=u+ivw=u+iv.
    Find a Cartesian equation for the image of the line x=2x=2 under TT.2 marks
  2. The transformation TT from the zz-plane to the ww-plane is given by w=(1+i)z−2w=(1+i)z-2.
    The circle ∣z∣=1|z|=1 is mapped by TT to a circle in the ww-plane. Find its centre and radius.2 marks
  3. The transformation TT from the zz-plane to the ww-plane is given by w=z+iz−iw=\frac{z+i}{z-i}, z≠iz\neq i, where z=x+iyz=x+iy and w=u+ivw=u+iv.
    Show that the image of the real axis (y=0y=0) lies on the circle ∣w∣=1|w|=1.3 marks
