Hey guys.

I've been sitting on this one for an hour or so. (got nothing)

I think it has something to do with schwarz lemma but I'm not sure.

Any help will be much appreciate.

Thanks a lot.

It is related to the Schwarz lemma, but its not directly applicable as we are not given f(0)=0. However, the function you have in an automorphism of the unit disk, and there's a way to "bring it back" to Schwarz's lemma.

Theorem: Let f:D \to D be an analytic automorphism of the unit disc and suppose f(\alpha) = 0. Then there exists a real number \theta such that:

f(z) = \exp(i\theta) \frac{\alpha - z}{1-\overline{\alpha}z}

Start of proof:

Let g=g_{\alpha} be the above automorphism. Then h(w) = f(g^{-1}(w)) is an automorphism of the unit disc and maps 0 to 0. It suffices to prove h(w) has the form \exp(i\theta) w.

To prove that, use the Schwarz Lemma in two different ways.
