The discussion focuses on the complex mapping defined by the function f(z) = (1 + z)/(1 - z) and explores the images of specific complex numbers, including i and 1 - i. For i, the mapping results in f(i) = i, indicating that the image is a single point. For 1 - i, the image is calculated as f(1 - i) = 1 - 2i, also yielding a single point. The conversation also touches on the images of the real and imaginary axes, with f(t) for real numbers and f(ti) for imaginary numbers, prompting further analysis of their respective real and imaginary parts. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in calculations and understanding complex mappings.

Complex mapping
z → f(z) =(1 + z)/(1 − z)
1.What are the images of i and 1 − i and 2.What are the images of the real and the imaginary axes?
For i we have f(i)=(1+i)/(1-i) since i(depending on the power) can be i,-i,1,-1=>0, (1+i)/(1-i),(1-i)/(1+i)
For 1 − i we have 1,-3,(2-i)/i,(2+i)/i.
Not sure about the second part..

Substitute \(i\), \(1 - i\) and \(2\) for z in \(f(z)=\frac{1+z}{1-z}\)

What are the images of the real and the imaginary axes?

For \(z = i\);

\[f(i)=\frac{1+i}{1-i}\]

Now you have to find the real and complex parts of \(f(i)\). Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by \(1+i\).

\[f(i)=\frac{(1+i)^2}{1-i^2}=\frac{(1+2i+i^2)}{2}\]

\[\therefore f(i) = i\]

Hence the real part of \(f(i)\) is zero and the imaginary part is 1. We usually denote this by,

\[Re[f(i)]=0\mbox{ and }Im[f(i)]=1\]

Hope you can continue with the rest of the problem.

For i we have f(i)=(1+i)/(1-i) since i(depending on the power) can be i,-i,1,-1=>0, (1+i)/(1-i),(1-i)/(1+i)

This is wrong. \(i=\sqrt{-1}\)

For 1 − i we have 1,-3,(2-i)/i,(2+i)/i.

What powers are you talking about? I see only the first power of i.

$f(i)= \frac{1+ i}{1- i}= \frac{1+ i}{1- i}\frac{1+ i}{1+ i}= \frac{1+ 2i+ i^2}{1+ 1}$
$= \frac{1+ 2i- 1}{2}= i$
That is the only point in the image.
For 1 − i we have 1,-3,(2-i)/i,(2+i)/i.
Again, the image contains the single point $f(1- i)= \frac{1+ (1- i)}{1- (1- i)}= \frac{2- i}{i}= 1- 2i$
Not sure about the second part..
On the real axis, z= t+ 0i. f(t)= \frac{1+ t}{1- t} where t is real. What can you say about the real and imaginary parts of that?
On the imaginary axis, z= 0+ ti. f(ti)= \frac{1+ ti}{1- ti}= \frac{1+ ti}{1- ti}\frac{1+ ti}{1+ ti}= \frac{1+ 2ti+ i^2}{1+ t^2}$
$= \frac{2ti}{1+ t^2}$. What can you say about the real and imaginary parts of that?
