Homework Statement


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



Homework Equations



[itex]z = x + iy[/itex]


The Attempt at a Solution



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

which ends up [tex]4y > 0[/tex]
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
