Homework Statement


i was supposed to figure out what this region looks like ad to plot it
\left| \frac{z + i}{z - i} \right| > 1



Homework Equations



z = x + iy


The Attempt at a Solution



i tried a couple of rearrangements but i got nowhere:
\left|z+i \right| > \left| z - i \right|
getting:
\sqrt{ x^2 + (y+1)^2 } > \sqrt{ x^2 + (y-1)^2 }

which ends up 4y > 0
is this it? simply y>0?

i think, I am not sure, but try something like this

|a| > |b|

=> a > |b| or a < -|b|

=> -a < b < a or a < b < -a

=> (b > -a and b < a ) or (b > a and b < -a)

and plot

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
