Show the pre-image of a vertical line Re(w)=c under f...
a) Show that the pre-image of a vertical line Re(w)=c under f is a circle centered on the line Re(z) = -1 and tangent to the real axis Im(z) = 0.
b) How does such a circle intersect the circle |z| =1?
Here's f by the way: [tex]i\frac{1-z}{1+z}[/tex]
So I took f and set it equal to c:
[tex]i\frac{1-z}{1+z} =c[/tex]
Solving for z, I get that the Re(z)
[tex]Re(z) = \frac{-c^2 +1}{c^2 +1}[/tex]
So that was me not knowing what I'm doing and just messing with the given information. I then took the limit as z approaches infinity and I get -1, so I again, not knowing if I'm doing this right simply declared that Re(z) is now equal to -1 as I'm supposed to prove.
So am I doing this right?
For part b, the circles intersect twice at 90 degrees right?
