Homework Statement


Find the locus of [tex]Re[z^2]>1[/tex]


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


Subbing in [tex]z=x+iy[/tex] gives [tex]x^2-y^2>1[/tex], but where do I go from there on. It shouldn't be very tough (i.e. including analysis of functions) because the other examples in the same problem are easy.

Well can you graph [tex]x^2-y^2=1[/tex]? It should be clear where it is more than 1 either by intuition or testing some easy points such as (0,0) versus (2,0).
It is the graph of a hyperbola by the way.
